Broken Nail Explained
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.
Care and Treatment for Broken Nail
The doctor looks at the nail on camera, advises on care and pain relief, checks for signs of infection and arranges an in-person review if the nail bed or bone may be injured. Typical choices are wound cleaning, a dressing and, if infected, an antibiotic; a nail bed injury may need in-person repair.
