it is true that this can agravate an existing disposition of ingrowing toenails, but that isnt what actually causes ingrowing toenails
i think i am safe in saying there are different degrees of the condition - mine have grown about 5mm down into each side of the nail from the base to the top so it isnt just the top corner that is the problem - this has caused further complications by causing my nail to curve rather than lie flat
believe me if it was just a case of not cutting them back too far there would be a lot less sufferers
it is a genetic condition and my dad suffers
my sister is lucky and doesnt ( yet i am the spitting image of my mum - and my sister looks like my dad - figure that one out lol)
but thankyou for your feedback x
and thanks to all for your helpful replies
