What Is Broken Nail?
Nails can split, crack or tear, occasionally damaging the nail bed. It is typically minor, but can be painful and may become infected.
Symptoms of Broken Nail
- Pain and tenderness
- Dark bruise under the nail
- Bleeding under or around the nail
- Redness or swelling if infected
- Cracked, split or torn nail
Causes and Risk Factors
Snagging or bending the nail, knocks, crushing, door slams, sport and strong chemicals can break it, and brittle nails give way more easily.
