• Ingrown nails: Cutting nails incorrectly (too short or rounded) can cause nails to grow into the skin and become painful 👣🚫

• Bad odors: If nails aren’t cleaned properly, bacteria can cause bad smells, especially around the cuticles or under the nail 🦠👃

• Nail damage: Dirty nails can weaken the nail plate and lead to cracks or breaks 💔💅
