Broken nail explained

How broken nail is treated
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. Options may include 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
- Cover the nail with a clean dressing
- Trim any sharp, loose edge with clean scissors
