Lifestyle and home remedies for ingrown toenails
Ingrown toenails are a common condition in which the corner or side of a toenail grows into the soft flesh. The result is pain, redness, swelling and, sometimes, an infection. Causes include wearing shoes that crowd your toenails, cutting your toenails too short or not straight across, and injuring your toenail.
