This condition can lead to discomfort, swelling, redness, and even infection in the affected area. Ingrown nails typically occur in the big toe and are often caused by factors such as improper nail trimming, tight-fitting shoes, or injury to the nail. In some cases, individuals with curved or unusually shaped nails may be more prone to developing ingrown nails.
