		Most ingrown toenails, however, are caused by poorly fitting shoes or by nails that are cut too short or too rounded.
		Ingrown toenails may also result from nails being allowed to grow too long; these can break off when your child is playing or when they get caught in his sock.
		One caution: Toenails should be cut straight across -- not in a rounded shape - with a nail clipper rather than scissors; always leave a little of the white showing at the end of the nail.
