Does your shoe: create pressure against that toe/nail? Clip nails straight across (rounded in center) to prevent them from becoming ingrown. Don’t push back cuticles. Use emery board for irregular nails Insure that your shoes fit properly & that they don’t squeeze your toes. 5. Alternate the shoes you wear.
