An ingrown toenail is a painful condition of the toe that occurs when a sharp corner of the toenail digs into the skin at the end of or side of the toe. Pain and inflammation are usually the first symptoms, sometimes followed by infection or even an abscess. Ingrown toenails are most common in the big toe.
They can be caused by a number of things, most frequently: tight shoes or high heels, improper trimming of toenails such as cutting them too short, or picking the nails, and acute injuries close to the toenail. Have you ever noticed your big toe joint getting larger? Have you ever needed to get wider shoes to stop pressure and rubbing on the side of the big toe joint?
