My daughter's toenails are driving me crazy! I have the biggest trouble clipping them. About a year ago, I clipped both of her big toenails too short. Ever since I cannot get them to grow out. I started running my fingernail under the edges to make sure that she didn't get an ingrown nail. Just when I think that we are in the clear she somehow manages to stub her toes and break the nail. I have tried making her wear socks and putting her shoes on for her to make sure that they don't get damaged but it never works due to the stubbing! I don;t know what to do. Does anyone have some advice on how to get her nail back to normal?
My son suffers with toenail problems also.. If it is just a mild problem try cutting a small v shape in the middle of the nail, this will release the pressure on the corners of the nail sometimes keeping it from becoming ingrown. Also I have been using a home remendy with my son my making a mixture of products with water and soaking his foot in it and then putting pure tea tree oil on the cuticle to help heal the toenail. I get the products from a great health and wellness company. If you need any more information let me know.
