ingrown toenails
Curving nail condition
Ingrown toenails are toenails that have grown into the surrounding skin rather than over it, causing pain, swelling, and sometimes infection.
The condition most commonly affects the big toe and often results from cutting nails too short or wearing tight shoes: I had to see a podiatrist about my ingrown toenail.
