Ingrown, Infected Toenails

When the edges or corners of your nails grow into the skin next to the nail, ingrown toenails occur. Usually, big toes are more likely to develop an ingrown toenail. Although you can treat this at home, some cases might need medical assistance. People suffering from diabetes have a higher chance of developing this condition.

One of the main causes of ingrown toenails is the cutting of toenails incorrectly. Even footwear that puts pressure on big toes can lead to an ingrown toenail. Visit Gibbs Foot & Ankle Clinic in Edmonton for effective ingrown toenail treatment.
