What Is Broken Nail?
A broken nail is a split, crack or tear of the nail, sometimes with injury to the nail bed beneath. It is generally minor, but can be painful and may become infected.
Causes and Risk Factors
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.
Care and Treatment for Broken Nail
On video the physician 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. Depending on your case, the doctor may suggest wound cleaning, a dressing and, if infected, an antibiotic; a nail bed injury may need in-person repair.
- Do not pull off a partly attached nail
- Wash the area gently with soap and water
