You can be sure your client has an ingrown toenail if she complains of sensitivity to any pressure such as shoes, socks, even the weight of bedding, pain along the edge of the toenail, inflammation, swelling, redness and discoloration, or bleeding. “If there is discharge, pain, swelling, or discoloration in the affected area, recommend your client to a specialist.” Stuart Mogul, a podiatrist in private practice in New York. “Ingrown toenails generally develop when the nail is cut too short or on a curve,” explains Dr. ![]() ![]() The big toe is usually the victim of this condition, but other toes can also become affected. ![]() Sometimes, however, one or both corners or sides curve and grow into the flesh.
