Ingrowing Toe Nails

• Family history of ingrown toenails
• Improperly trimmed toenails

• Nails that are peeled off at the edge or trimmed down at the corners can often become ingrown
• Injury/trauma to the nail

• Relatively painless
• Fast return to normal activities, in most cases back to work on the same day
• Low recurrence rate
