Ingrown Toenails

Ingrown toenails curve and grow into the nail borders (the sides of the nail). They often irritate the skin, creating pain, redness, swelling, and warmth in the toes. Any break in the skin due to ingrown toenails may become a risk for infection. Infection is often marked by drainage, pain, redness and a foul odor.
