E-rx.onlinePamukkale: Local Notes for Broken Nail
Pamukkale’s white travertine terraces are walked barefoot, and the glare and heat cause sunburn and cuts. Rock scrambles and trail use cause broken nails. Clean the area, cover it and carry a small first aid kit.
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.
Typical Symptoms
- Redness or swelling if infected
- Pain and tenderness
- Cracked, split or torn nail
About 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.
Prevention Tips
Keep nails trimmed and smooth, wear gloves for heavy work and protect fingers around doors and equipment.
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.
- Cover the nail with a clean dressing
- Do not pull off a partly attached nail
- Wash the area gently with soap and water
- Trim any sharp, loose edge with clean scissors
