Nails should be trimmed straight across, not rounded.Disorders such as fungal infections of the nail can cause a thickened or widened toenail to develop.Either an acute injury near the nail or anything that causes the nail to be damaged repetitively (such as playing soccer) can also cause an ingrown nail.If a member of your family has an ingrown toenail, then you are more likely to develop one, too. Some people's nails are normally more rounded than others or the underlying bone can be more "upturned," which increases the chance of developing ingrown nails. -
