About Broken Nail
A broken nail is a split, crack or tear of the nail, sometimes with injury to the nail bed beneath. It is generally minor but can hurt and may become infected.
Prevention Tips
Keep nails trimmed and smooth, wear gloves for heavy work and protect fingers around doors and equipment.
Getting Broken Nail Treated in Eminonu
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.
- Cover the nail with a clean dressing
- Wash the area gently with soap and water
- Do not pull off a partly attached nail
- Trim any sharp, loose edge with clean scissors
