Snagging or bending the nail, knocks, crushing, door slams, sport and strong chemicals can break it, and brittle nails give way more easily.
Broken Nail Explained
Nails can split, crack or tear, occasionally damaging the nail bed. It is usually minor, but can be painful and may become infected.
How Broken Nail Feels
- Redness or swelling if infected
- Dark bruise under the nail
- Pain and tenderness
- Bleeding under or around the nail
Treatment Options for Broken Nail in Avanos
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.
