Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A common approach to ingrown toenails is to “dig them out.” Podiatrists caution against this. When cutting out your ingrown toenail, you might lacerate the skin, making it easy for an infection to set in. Although it may seem easy to dig it out, and perhaps you have done it before, you should not.
Detailed explanation-2: -An ingrown toenail occurs when the edge of a nail grows into the surrounding skin. This usually happens on the big toe, but can happen to any toenail. Ingrown toenails dig into the skin, causing them to become red, swollen, tender, and painful. The edge of the toenail itself may be curved or ragged.
