Too short: You may be cutting your nails too short or they may be ingrown and you are pulling them out of the corner of the skin.

Too short?: Are you cutting your nails too short or causing bleeding when cutting. Maybe you should talk to a podiatrist about how to cut your nails and have your feet checked out.
