What is the probablity of a three year old having an ingrown toenail?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Ingrown: Chances are fairly high. I have seen newborns with it. Major cause is improperly trimming of nails, trauma or poor fitting shoes.

Good!: The chances are good: kids get ingrown toenails very often. Soak in warm water and epsom salts and dress with a little antibiotic ointment and a bandaid, and see your pediatrician.
