Gumbet’s busy beach strip, water sports and bars put sun, alcohol and minor injuries into the same day. Nightlife brings door slams, clumsy falls and broken nails. Clean it and keep it covered.
Understanding 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.
Common Triggers
Catching or bending the nail, a blow or crush injury, slamming it in a door, sport or strong chemicals. Weak or brittle nails break more readily.
How Broken Nail Feels
- Pain and tenderness
- Dark bruise under the nail
- Bleeding under or around the nail
How Broken Nail Is Treated
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.
- Wash the area gently with soap and water
- Cover the nail with a clean dressing
- Do not pull off a partly attached nail
- Trim any sharp, loose edge with clean scissors
