What Is Broken Nail?
A broken nail is a split, crack or tear in the nail, sometimes with injury to the nail bed underneath. It is usually minor, but can be painful and may become infected.
How Broken Nail Feels
- Bleeding under or around the nail
- Cracked, split or torn nail
- Pain and tenderness
- Redness or swelling if infected
- Dark bruise under the nail
Care and Treatment for Broken Nail
The doctor looks at the nail on camera, advises on care and painkillers, checks for signs of infection 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.
