How Broken Nail Feels
- Pain and tenderness
- Bleeding under or around the nail
- Redness or swelling if infected
- Cracked, split or torn nail
- Dark bruise under the 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.
Understanding Broken Nail
Nails can split, crack or tear, occasionally damaging the nail bed. It is generally minor but can hurt and may become infected.
