E-rx.onlineLocal Tips for Broken Nail in Sabiha Gokcen Airport
Sabiha Gokcen is the Asian-side airport, so travellers often need help before or after flights. Heavy luggage and busy public transport catch nails frequently. Trim any sharp edge and keep it covered.
Why Broken Nail Happens
Snagging or bending the nail, knocks, crushing, door slams, sport and strong chemicals can break it, and brittle nails give way more readily.
What Is Broken Nail?
Nails can split, crack or tear, occasionally damaging the nail bed. It is normally minor, but can be painful and may become infected.
Symptoms of Broken Nail
- Dark bruise under the nail
- Redness or swelling if infected
- Pain and tenderness
- Bleeding under or around the nail
- Cracked, split or torn nail
How Broken Nail Is Treated
The doctor looks at the nail on camera, advises on care and painkillers, checks for infection signs and arranges an in-person review if the nail bed or bone may be injured. Treatment can involve 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
- Do not pull off a partly attached nail
- Cover the nail with a clean dressing
