Ingrown toenails are quite common in all age groups. Patients often live with them needlessly for months or years. The improper trimming of the nails, tight shoes, injury to the nail, or nails that are curved at the edges can cause ingrown toenails. Sometimes they seem to occur for no reason at all. If they become infected or painful, you should apply an antibiotic ointment and make an appointment to have them treated. Treatment is virtually painless. Following the procedure there is little to no pain and no limitation of your activities once the anesthesia has worn off.
