• May be caused by trimming nails into corners of your toe, wearing ill-fitting footwear, traumatic toenail injury, fungal toenail infections, inheritance of nail structure
• Treatment may involve conservative soaks in mild cases, packing nail folds with cotton, to surgical removal of part of the ingrown toenail in severe cases
