About broken nail
A broken nail is a split, crack or tear in the nail, sometimes with injury to the nail bed underneath. It is usually minor but can hurt and may become infected.
Signs of broken nail to look for
- Bleeding under or around the nail
- Dark bruise under the nail
- Cracked, split or torn nail
- Pain and tenderness
- Redness or swelling if infected
What can cause broken nail
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.
Care and treatment for broken nail
The doctor looks at the nail on camera, advises on care and pain relief, 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.
- Cover the nail with a clean dressing
- Trim any sharp, loose edge with clean scissors
- Wash the area gently with soap and water
