Ingrown Nails

Ingrown toenails are quite common in all age groups. It is a result of a nail growing into the skin that surrounds it. The improper trimming of the nails, tight shoes, or injury to the nail can cause ingrown toenails. Often they seem to occur for no reason at all.

If they become infected, you should soak them in warm water and Epsom salts, apply an antibiotic ointment and make an appointment to have them treated. Treatment is simple and painless in most situations. You can resume normal daily activities within a day.
