Different ingrown toenails photos and causes

There are many different causes of ingrown toenails. Here introduced the most common three versions of ingrown toenails' causes and pictures

Curved nails

Causes:  1: tight shoes, high heels, that the nail was pressed to grow more curved. 2: nail fungus.

Remedy: Check home treatment for ingrown toenail

Nail trapped by the nail bed

Causes: Improper nail cutting. That cut the nail too short, then the nail bed and lateral nail fold enclosed the nail, and trapped the nail to grow out.  In the worst cases, the nail would puncture the nail bed through ( see the last photo)

Nail spike or pointing edge in the nail

Causes: This is mainly caused by tight shoes and combined with tight shoes. When cutting the nail, it did not cut straight across to the nail's end and left a spike or a pointing edge in the nail. When the nail grows, the spike would puncture the lateral nail fold.
