10 Tips to Maintain Healthy Toenails

Trimming

To maintain strong and healthy toenails, it is advisable to trim them once in a few weeks. Otherwise, they could grow improperly and cause many health issues. Long nails can also be ideal areas for bacteria to grow. In general, you should trim nails straight across instead of trimming the edges into a curve. Do not trim too short because it would cause an infection or ingrown toenails. If your nails are hard, consider trimming after taking a shower when they are still soft. [4]
