What Causes Ingrown Toenails?
Ingrown toenails occur when the nail grows into the surrounding skin, causing pain, redness, swelling, and sometimes infection. Common causes include improper nail trimming, tight footwear, injury, or genetic predisposition. If left untreated, ingrown toenails can worsen and lead to ongoing discomfort or infections.
