Why Broken Nail Happens
Catching or bending the nail, a blow or crush injury, slamming it in a door, sport or strong chemicals. Weak or brittle nails break more easily.
Understanding 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.
Signs of Broken Nail to Look for
- Dark bruise under the nail
- Bleeding under or around the nail
- Cracked, split or torn nail
- Redness or swelling if infected
Getting Broken Nail Treated in Guvercinlik
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. Depending on your case, the doctor may suggest 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
- Trim any sharp, loose edge with clean scissors
- Wash the area gently with soap and water
