Show Ingroivn Toenails When the soft tissue on the side of the toenail is penetrated pene-trated by the edge of the nail plate, the result can be an ingrown toenail, characterized by redness, pain and swelling. Here are some hints for preventing this condition: condi-tion: MAKE SURE that shoes are wide enough and long enough not to put pressure on the toes. - Allow the nail to grow until the edge is clear of the end of the toe before it is cut. CUT THE nail straight across, with the sharp corners only slightly rounded. |
