We recommend cutting nails straight across. If nails are cut at an angle, for example in the borders/corners, there is danger of having the nails grow back ingorwn. An ingrown nail grows into the skin, instead of growing straight out. When this happens, the nail can cause a break in the skin where bacteria can enter and cause a possible infections. The way to prevent this is to always cut your nails straight across.
