An ingrown toenail may cause pain, swelling and even infection.  When a toenail grows into the soft flesh of the toe, it becomes “ingrown”.  Ingrown toenails may be caused by an injury to the toenail; cutting the toenail too short or incorrectly or wearing tight-fitting shoes that crowd your toes.  People with diabetes or other circulation problems that affect the feet should consult a podiatrist immediately if an ingrown toenail is suspected.  Learn more about our Miracle Medi Pedi [link to Miracle Medi Pedi]
