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.
Typical symptoms
- Pain and tenderness
- Dark bruise under the nail
- Redness or swelling if infected
- Cracked, split or torn nail
- Bleeding under or around the nail
Common triggers
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.

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. Depending on your case, the physician may suggest wound cleaning, a dressing and, if infected, an antibiotic; a nail bed injury may need in-person repair.
- Trim any sharp, loose edge with clean scissors
- Wash the area gently with soap and water
- Do not pull off a partly attached nail
