Wow, amazing. Why does this work? I would think that the nail bed has no knowledge of what the end of the nail is shaped like.

- Kubuxu 3y agoIt keeps the side from curling in and causing the irritation/cut that results in what we call ingrown toenail.
- londons_explore 3y agoIngrown toenails basically don't happen in cultures where people don't wear shoes. I suspect the cause is socks or shoes pushing against the skin at the end of the toe, causing it to grow incorrectly over many months. An untrimmed nail pushes any sock/shoe away, solving the issue.
- ars 3y agoThe nail doesn't change, rather the skin by the end of your toe does.
