If you're reading this, and realized that you've never had an ingrown toenail count yourself lucky. They are a painful problem many people are being to experience. Now let me end by saying a few words on prevention.
Proper grooming is always a main concern.
Don't trim your nails too short or round, and avoid wearing tight shoes. It's hard to avoid stubbing your toe, but by all means try to be safe. Inc.
