    An ingrown toenail is a common foot condition where the edge or corner of a toenail grows into the soft flesh of the toe, usually on the big toe. This condition can cause pain, redness, swelling and, sometimes, an infection. It typically results from improper toenail trimming, wearing shoes that crowd the toenails, injury, or having naturally curved toenails.
