About Broken Nail
A broken nail is a split, crack or tear of the nail, sometimes with injury to the nail bed beneath. Most cases are minor, though painful and at times 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.
How Broken Nail Feels
- Cracked, split or torn nail
- Bleeding under or around the nail
- Redness or swelling if infected
- Dark bruise under the nail
Treatment Options for Broken Nail in Taksim
The physician 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. Treatment can involve 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
