If you've ever experienced an ingrown toenail before, you know they can be pretty painful. An ingrown toenail happens when the corner or edge of your toenail curves inward and grows into the surrounding skin around your toe (typically your big toe). In addition to being painful, ingrown toenails can cause redness and swelling in the area, making it painful to wear shoes or have anything rubbing against it.

Ingrown toenails are common in both men and women and can be diagnosed by your doctor after a physical examination of your nail and the surrounding skin.
