10 Causes of Ingrown Toenails
Cause #7: Unusual Curvature
All our nails are curved to an extent but some are more curved than others. The extent of curvature usually ties in just right with the shape of our toes, helping them to fit together perfectly. For people with nails that are particularly curved, however, then quite uncomfortable complications could arise.
Toenails that are excessively curved could begin to dig into the soft tissues of the toes and even grow into them. This can be very painful and also potentially lead to nasty infections. If you do have nails that are precariously curved you should take extra precautions to try and prevent them from growing into your toes.
