Broken Nail Explained
A broken nail is a split, crack or tear in the nail, sometimes with injury to the nail bed underneath. It is normally minor but can hurt and may become infected.
Local Tips for Broken Nail in Bosphorus
Bosphorus ferry trips mean hours of sun and wind on deck, and sunburn and colds are the typical result. Heavy luggage and busy public transport catch nails frequently. Trim any sharp edge and keep it covered.
Care and Treatment for Broken Nail
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. Options may include wound cleaning, a dressing and, if infected, an antibiotic; a nail bed injury may need in-person repair.
- Wash the area gently with soap and water
- Do not pull off a partly attached nail
