Why does my toenail always get infected for a few days after cutting it but then fine the rest of the time?

Sanitize the clippers with alcohol and dont cut into the corners, cut straight across.

dont cut corners,,,straight across,

yes it can heal over time

Your clippers may have bacteria on so maybe worth sterilising them or you’re cutting he nail too short

Yes. Very much. Alot that you could do

I think you should throw away those clippers and buy new ones.

Also, clean you feet and soak them in a disinfectant wash, like Hibiclens

before you clip them, and don't clip them so short that you nick your skin !

cut too short?????????????????

You may need to sanitize the clippers.

Why are you cutting them every two weeks? I think once a month would be adequate - and maybe don't cut them so short.

It could be an ingrown toenail, and when you cut it (too short) it gets infected, then a few days later it probably grows enough to stop being irritated and becomes less inflamed or infected.

You should go to a nail salon and have a pedicure - they WON'T cut your nails too short and that would probably resolve the problem - that you seem to inflict on yourself.

It could be the ingrown toenail or you might be cutting it too short.
