http://www.chicagopodiatry.comIngrown toenails are quite common in all age groups. Patients often live with them needlessly for months or years. The improper trimming of the nails, tight shoes, injury to the nail, or nails that are curved at the edges can cause ingrown toenails. Sometimes they seem to occur for no reason at all. If they become infected or painful, you should apply an antibiotic ointment and make an appointment to have them treated. by Chicago Podiatric Surgeonswww.chicagopodiatry.comFungal toenails are toenails that have become infected with one of a group of microorganisms we call fungus. In many instances it is the same organism that causes athlete's foot. As the fungus invades the nail and the nail bed, it may go unnoticed for a period of time because it is rarely painful. It usually appears at the nail edge and works its way under the nail, progressing back to the root of the toenail. by Chicago Podiatric Surgeonswww.chicagopodiatry.com
