What is an Ingrown Toenail?

An ingrown toenail occurs when the edge of the nail grows down and into the skin of the toe. There may be pain, redness, and swelling around the nail.

 

What is nail fungus?

A fungus is a living organism that thrives in dark, damp environments. Fungal infections are very common in nails on both fingers and toes, but toenails are more likely to be affected by fungus since it is attracted to dark and damp environments more typical of the foot than the hand. Affected nails have a yellowish or brownish discoloration and may thicken or become brittle over time.
