Ingrown Toenail
An ingrown toenail occurs when the toenail curls in, down the medial or lateral border of the nail or a sharp edge or spike may be growing into the nail sulcus.
The cause of an ingrown toenail can be familial or congenital whereby the nail is simply too large for the toe. An ingrown toenail can also be caused by a poor cutting regime, biomechanical problems or even a trauma such as stubbing the toe or someone stepping on the toe. The most common cause of an ingrown toenail is improper trimming of the nail or shoes which are improperly fitted and too tight.
Treatment can be either surgical (removal of partial/total nail under local anaesthetic) or if possible, conservative with some form of foot aid and expert nail reduction.
