Proper Toenail Trimming

You may not be aware, but there is a correct way to trim your toenails. You should cut your toenails straight across. This is important because it prevents you from cutting the edges of your toenails back to far, possibly causing them to grow back ingrown. You should also make sure you don't cut your toenails too close because this can damage the tissues of the nail bed. You should not trim the skin around your nails. You also need to remember to trim your toenails, as long nails can cause shoes to be uncomfortable. And trimming your toenails the correct way can prevent them from future damage, which can make the nail more susceptible to fungal infections. Correct trimming is quite simple, and doesn't take very long, but it does ensure that you avoid unnecessary complications.
