What causes nails to grow into the flesh?

When our nails grow into the flesh, it means there are too many bacteria, causing infection in the surrounding area, which is commonly known as groinitis. If we have pardactyly, it is because our nails on both sides are not trimmed in time, and then they grow into the flesh, causing inflammation. Sometimes, it's because you cut your nails too short, causing the nails to be tightly connected to the flesh, and then the nails will habitually grow into the flesh. Therefore, in normal circumstances, it is best not to cut your nails too short, because it is not only not conducive to nail growth, but may also grow into the flesh.

Sometimes, especially our toenails, are more likely to grow into the flesh. This is because the shoes you wear are too tight, or the socks are too tight and not breathable, causing your nails to grow deeper into the flesh, giving you a tight feeling. When cutting your nails, it is best to cut them into a flat shape, and do not cut them in a curved shape, because if you cut them in a curved shape, the edge of the nail will be more painful. Nails need to be cleaned promptly after trimming to prevent inflammation.
