What Is an Ingrown Toenail?

An ingrown toenail happens when the corner or side of a toenail grows into the skin of the toe instead of over it. This most often affects the big toe and can worsen over time if left untreated.

Symptoms of an Ingrown Toenail

Common symptoms include:

• Toe pain or tenderness along the nail edge

• Redness and swelling

• Warmth around the nail

• Drainage or pus if infected

• Difficulty wearing shoes or walking

Early treatment can prevent infection and chronic problems.

Causes & Risk Factors

Ingrown toenails may develop due to:

• Improper nail trimming (cutting nails too short or rounded)

• Tight-fitting shoes or socks

• Repeated toe trauma or pressure

• Thick or curved toenails

• Poor foot hygiene

• Diabetes or circulation issues

Certain individuals are at higher risk for complications.
