Ingrown Toenail Removal

What Are Ingrowing Toenails?

Ingrown toenails occur when the edges or corners of a toenail grow into the surrounding skin, often leading to pain, swelling, and sometimes infection. This condition typically affects the big toe and can be caused by improper nail trimming, wearing tight shoes, or injury to the toenail. Ingrown toenails can be extremely painful, causing discomfort while walking or wearing shoes, and if left untreated, they may lead to more serious complications.
