Such violations in medicine are called onychocryptosis. Such pathology is accompanied by a change in growth direction of the edges of the nail plate, causing them to grow into the soft tissue of the nail fold. To date, decided to allocate several main reasons for this disease:

  • If the nail had grown into the skin, it may be due to genetic inheritance and some of the features of the anatomical structure of nails.
  • On the other hand, a similar problem is often faced by people who prefer not very comfortable fashionable shoes with narrow toe. The risk groups are and women wearing high heel shoes, as in this case, the pressure on the toes increases.
  • Some specialists relate the ingrown nails from improper cropping, in particular the removal of their edges.
  • Trauma to the nail plate can also be a cause.
  • If on the foot the nail has grown, this may indicate previously migrated fungal infection. Fungi often change the structure and thickness of the nail plate, which naturally affects the process of its growth.
