Ingrown toenails, or ingrown nails, occur when the corner or side of your toenail grows into the soft flesh surrounding it. The condition is common and usually painless but as the problem persists, it can become very painful and even cause infections. Ingrown toenails are more common in countries where people walk around a lot in close-fitting, narrow shoes but they can happen to anyone.
