Ingrown toenails occur when the corners of the nail grow into the skin. This can be quite painful and traumatic to the health of your toenails. Ingrown toenails are often caused as a result of: - Improper trimming of the nails - Toenail injury ... - Improper fitting footwear which places too much pressure on the corners of the nails - Having curved nails - Having poor circulation - Genetic predisposition In this video, we decided to proceed with a nail procedure to permanently remove the portion of the ingrown toenail. This ensures that the offending nail border is taken out and restricted from coming back. (Patient consent obtained) #nailsurgery #chiropody #ingrowntoenail #foothealth #medicine
