In-growing Toenails
Never cut down the sides of a nail as this can encourage ingrowing toenails.
If you do develop an ingrowing toenail this can be very uncomfortable. Always consult a podiatrist and you may require an operation under local anaesthetic to take away the portion of nail that is irritating the nail bed. This is usually a permanent solution to the problem.

Old wives tale alert: A “v“ cut in your ingrowing toenail will not solve the problem.
