Want to avoid the pain of ingrown toenails? Some people never deal with them, while others get them now and then—especially if you trim nails rounded at the edges, which increases the risk. Podiatrists recommend these straightforward steps to keep your feet healthy.
Choose well-fitting shoes
Opt for shoes that provide ample room for your toes, preventing pressure that can push nails inward.
Prioritize foot and nail care
Regularly soak your feet in a warm bath and keep nails clean to maintain healthy skin and prevent issues.
Trim nails straight across
Always cut toenails straight, avoiding rounded corners that can grow into the skin.
Act early on warning signs
If you notice a nail starting to ingrow, address it immediately to avoid complications.
