today we’re going to talk about a very  significant scientific sounding condition  

called onychocryptosis also known as an ingrown  toenail don’t ask me why they have to come up  

with these incredibly long names for something so  simple but what is an ingrown toenail it’s where  

your edges or the corner of your nail starts  growing into the skin on your big toe but the  

question is why and is it related to nutrition it  can be low calcium or low vitamin d can cause this  

condition without calcium the nail can grow soft  and it can be distorted it can grow into your skin  

it could also be that you’re cutting your nail  incorrectly normally you should cut your nail  

straight across if you start rounding the edges  it can kind of grow in to your tissues incorrectly  

now another cause could be that your shoes are  just too tight for your feet and it’s pressing  

onto your nail or lastly it could be a toenail  injury let’s say you do kickboxing or soccer or  

you had a direct injury on your toe like i did  i remember one time i was lifting these weights  

and i had these 25 pound plates and for some  reason i dropped one and i was wearing sandals  

yes that was not good and i had some some serious  pain in my big toe and that could be the reason  

why i still to this day have toe pain but injury  to the toe could also cause your nail to grow  

inward into the tissues all right there’s  my short video for you thanks for watching
