Trimming Toenails Too Short Can Lead to 'Pencil Nail'

Reported 8 months ago

Trimming toenails too short can increase the risk of ingrown nails and curled nails, possibly leading to chronic paronychia and even cellulitis. Dr. Tsai Chang-yu, chief dermatologist at Shu-Tien Clinic, advises cutting toenails straight across to prevent them from becoming triangular or curved. Improper trimming may cause nails to grow back curved, potentially leading to severe nail conditions. It is recommended to adopt good nail care habits to avoid nail issues.
