Broken Nail Explained
Nails can split, crack or tear, occasionally damaging the nail bed. It is generally minor, but can be painful and may become infected.
Symptoms of Broken Nail
- Redness or swelling if infected
- Dark bruise under the nail
- Bleeding under or around the nail
- Pain and tenderness
- Cracked, split or torn nail
Causes and Risk Factors
Catching or bending the nail, a blow or crush injury, slamming it in a door, sport or harsh chemicals. Weak or brittle nails break more readily.
Preventing Broken Nail
Keep nails trimmed and smooth, wear gloves for heavy work and protect fingers around doors and equipment.
Care and Treatment for Broken Nail
On video the doctor inspects the nail, gives care and pain-relief advice, looks for infection and sets up an in-person check if the nail bed or bone could be damaged. Typical choices are wound cleaning, a dressing and, if infected, an antibiotic; a nail bed injury may need in-person repair.
- Trim any sharp, loose edge with clean scissors
- Wash the area gently with soap and water
- Cover the nail with a clean dressing
- Do not pull off a partly attached nail
