Ingrown nails
Ingrown nails: Introduction
A condition where an edge of a finger-nail or toe-nail grows into, or pushes against, the skin causing irritation and inflammation. It may be caused by ill-fitting shoes or incorrect clipping of the nails. Age, lung disease and poor peripheral circulation can also cause the nails to curve inwards and hence increase the likelihood of ingrown nails.
