Understanding broken nail
Nails can split, crack or tear, occasionally damaging the nail bed. It is usually minor, but can be painful and may become infected.
Why broken nail happens
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.
Typical symptoms
- Cracked, split or torn nail
- Dark bruise under the nail
- Bleeding under or around the nail
- Pain and tenderness
- Redness or swelling if infected
