| Use Nail Clippers Properly to Help Avoid Ingrown Toenails |
| |
Nail clippers are used to trim and clean finger and toenails. It’s important to use nail clippers correctly to help avoid conditions like ingrown toenails.
But don’t get too overzealous when trimming your toenails with nail clippers! Ingrown toenails occur when the edge of the nail grows directly into the surrounding tissue of the toe, causing pain and discomfort. Using nail clippers to cut toenails TOO close may result in an ingrown toenail.
The Podiatry Institute recommends trimming your toenails carefully, straight across, with specially designed nail clippers.
- Do not gouge into the corners.
- Leave toenails slightly longer than the tips of your toes
Many nail clippers are available on the market today: big nail clippers, small nail clippers, even nail clippers designed specifically for pets and animals.
