Ingrown toenails and fingernails

I have been getting ingrown toenails and fingernails each one gets infected. Wondering if anyone else has experienced this?

Yep, nearly all my nails (on both hands and feet) have some sort of abnormal curvature that has developed in the last 5 to 10 years. It's worse on my toenails with several being ingrown and one is a full-on pincer nail. They can be painful and sometimes get infected. They are very tricky to trim and I have to soak my feet for at least 1/2 an hour before trimming my nails.
