What Is An Ingrown Nail?

An ingrown nail occurs when the edge of your nail grows into the skin and flesh around your nail causing pain, and in some cases, infection.

While ingrown nails can occur in individuals of all genders and ages, some studies suggest that teenagers and young adults are more likely to develop this issue. This is because they are more likely to trim their nails poorly and/or actively participate in sports that may result in physical trauma to their feet.

What Are the Risks?

As ingrown nails grow deeper into the skin, they can puncture the skin, causing a wound that is easily susceptible to infections.

If left ignored, cellulitis can set in, causing severe swelling and redness. Infection from ingrown toenails can even spread to the underlying bones of the toe and become a life-threatening condition. If your toe is swollen, changing in colour, producing pus, or causing you great discomfort, please see a podiatrist immediately.
