What Causes Ingrown Toenails?

Swollen big toe with discolored, damaged toenail, signs of possible infection.

Are you struggling with a painful ingrown toenail? At 1 Health Medical Centre in Wigram, Christchurch, we specialise in fast, effective treatments to relieve pain and restore healthy nails. Our experienced doctors and nurses offer surgical and non-surgical solutions for all ages.


Ingrown toenails most commonly affect the big toe and can result from:

  • Tight shoes or ill-fitting footwear
  • Trimming toenails too short or rounding the corners
  • Toe injury or repeated trauma
  • Genetic factors and curved nail shape

These issues are common in busy adults, sports players, and teenagers in Christchurch and Wigram areas.
