 Toenail - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Toenails are thicker than fingernails and as such are better trimmed using dedicated nail clippers rather than scissors, which suffice for fingernails.
Ingrown toenails are a fairly common problem, which can cause severe discomfort for the sufferer.
This condition can be prevented by keeping toenails trimmed straight (not too short) and by wearing shoes that fit properly (particularly in the area of the toes).

Analysis of total arsenic in hair and toenail samples of residents exposed to varying concentrations of environmental arsenic has shown that increased hair and toenail arsenic concentrations were associated with high arsenic concentrations in drinking water, high concentrations of arsenic in residential soil, or both.
Toenail arsenic concentrations were higher in residents exposed to high concentrations of arsenic in soil, and slightly lower concentrations were observed in residents consuming contaminated water.

Surgery for ingrown toenail is painless and easy to perform on an out patient basis.  Patients should be able to put weight on their feet immediately after surgery but walking is uncomfortable.  In most cases, toenails grow normally after surgery without imbedding themselves into the skin.
To prevent ingrown toenails in the first place, or their recurrence, cut your toenails straight across with the end at a very slight angle.  Avoid trimming too close and cutting into or damaging the skin at the corners of the nail.
