How to Cut Your Toenails Properly

Written By Juan Coruna

Do you suffer from ingrown toenails? You might be cutting your toenails wrong.

If left alone, ingrown toenails can infect the bone in your feet. It can be worse for diabetic patients where blood vessels and nerves in their feet may be damaged!

This awareness campaign is brought to you by the Coruña Foot and Ankle Institute (CFAI). Seek medical advice only from qualified healthcare professionals. This material is strictly for educational purposes only. CFAI is managed by an orthopedic foot and ankle surgeon in the Philippines based in Bacolod City.

Cut your nails straight across instead of curved or rounded.
