Ingrown toenails are a common condition that can lead to pain, swelling, and infection if left untreated. Whether you’ve noticed tenderness around your toenail or are dealing with recurring ingrown nails, Elmhurst Foot & Ankle Center Inc. is here to provide expert care and lasting relief.

What Causes Ingrown Toenails?
An ingrown toenail occurs when the edge of the toenail grows into the surrounding skin, causing discomfort and inflammation. This condition can result from:

Improper Nail Trimming: Cutting your toenails too short or rounding the edges can encourage the nail to grow into the skin.
Tight Footwear: Shoes that squeeze your toes can increase pressure on the nails, leading to ingrown toenails.
Injury or Trauma: Stubbing your toe or other trauma can cause the nail to grow improperly.
Genetics: Some people are more prone to ingrown toenails due to the natural shape of their nails.
