How Broken Nail Is Treated
The doctor looks at the nail on camera, advises on care and pain relief, checks for signs of infection and arranges an in-person review if the nail bed or bone may be injured. Typical choices are wound cleaning, a dressing and, if infected, an antibiotic; a nail bed injury may need in-person repair.
- Do not pull off a partly attached nail
- Cover the nail with a clean dressing
- Wash the area gently with soap and water
- Trim any sharp, loose edge with clean scissors
