I have a recurring issue of an ingrown toenail on the big toes of my feet. what options are there to fix this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Shoes or foot type: if your toenail is chronically ingrown. You may have flat feet or your shoes may not give u enough room. Pointy shoes do come with their challenges. I would advise you go to a podiatrist so they can discuss the possible causes
