Ms. Chen, a 48-year-old service industry worker, developed chronic ingrown toenails due to regularly cutting her toenails too short. This led to her toenails curling severely, causing a 'pencil nail' appearance. After experiencing increased pain in her toenails, she sought medical attention and was diagnosed with chronic paronychia and ingrown toenails. The doctor advised against trimming nails too short and recommended leaving 1mm of the white portion at the front, as cutting them too short can lead to ingrown nails and potential infections. Proper nail trimming techniques and foot care habits were also suggested to prevent the occurrence of paronychia and ingrown toenails.
