10 Causes of Ingrown Toenails
Cause #4: Improper Cutting
Our nails are constantly growing at a rate of around 3 millimeters a month. Long nails can get in the way, though. They can get caught on fabrics and can also break or bend with some pain. Before they get too long we usually just cut them off which is a painless experience if done correctly.
Cut the nails incorrectly and you could be causing yourself a lot of unnecessary discomfort. Improper cutting is among the most common causes of ingrown toenails and could easily be prevented. When cutting, make sure to cut straight across and ingrown toenails should not be a problem for you.
