Onychogryposis is a type of ingrown toenail, causing the nail to become thick which forces the tip to grow inwards like hook. The condition may also cause the colour of the nail to become yellow.
Also, the surface can become rough and rugged.
How to deal with it
Avoid stimuli such as nail care and nail art. Requires examination from a medical specialist.
Main causes
Main causes include the natural, genetic and the age-related. Wearing tight unfitting shoes may also induce the condition. Take care when wearing tight shoes which apply pressure on the nails.
