The ingrown toenail is a common condition that appears mostly on the big toe. The nails lose their correct direction and they penetrate the skin resulting to intense pain and at most times to creating inflammation with pus.

The main reasons that cause ingrown toenails are the wrong way of cutting nails, the tight shoes, the extra weight and the intense exercise.

Other reasons that cause the ingrown toenail are spoon nails and the oyster nail.
