Fingers or toes?: Are you having ingrown nails of your fingers or toes?Most commonly seen is toes,which can be due to poorly fitting shoes,extreme cutting of the skin by the nail fold,deformity of the end of the toe,or some kind of trauma.You can have your doctor cut your nail back to prevent the condition,but also recommend not biting/cuting your nails/skin fold too short and/or wearing better fitting shoes
