Understanding 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.
How broken nail is treated
The physician looks at the nail on camera, advises on care and painkillers, 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
- Trim any sharp, loose edge with clean scissors
- Wash the area gently with soap and water
- Do not pull off a partly attached nail
