Broken Nail Explained
A broken nail is a split, crack or tear of the nail, sometimes with injury to the nail bed beneath. It is normally minor but can hurt and may become infected.
Care and Treatment for Broken Nail
The doctor looks at the nail on camera, advises on care and pain relief, checks for infection signs and arranges an in-person review if the nail bed or bone may be injured. Treatment can involve 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
- Trim any sharp, loose edge with clean scissors
- Wash the area gently with soap and water
- Do not pull off a partly attached nail
