About Broken Nail
A broken nail is a split, crack or tear in the nail, sometimes with injury to the nail bed underneath. Most cases are minor, though painful and at times infected.
Signs of Broken Nail to Look for
- Pain and tenderness
- Dark bruise under the nail
- Bleeding under or around the nail
- Cracked, split or torn nail
Common Triggers
Snagging or bending the nail, knocks, crushing, door slams, sport and strong chemicals can break it, and brittle nails give way more readily.
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. Options may include 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
- Wash the area gently with soap and water
- Cover the nail with a clean dressing
- Trim any sharp, loose edge with clean scissors
