Ingrown Toenails

Description: Onychocryptosis, commonly known as ingrown nails (unguis incarnatus), is a common form of nail disease. It is a painful condition in which the nail grows or cuts into one or both sides of the nail bed. While ingrown nails can occur in both the nails of the hand and feet, they occur most commonly with toenails. The causes include poor maintenance, like cutting the nail too short, rounded off at the tip or peeled off at the edges, ill-fitting shoes, like those that are too narrow or too short, trauma to the nail plate or toe, such as can occur by stubbing the toenail, predisposition, like abnormally-shaped nail beds, nail deformities caused by diseases, and others.
