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.
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 easily.
Symptoms of broken nail
- Pain and tenderness
- Dark bruise under the nail
- Cracked, split or torn nail
- Bleeding under or around the nail
- Redness or swelling if infected
How broken nail is treated
The doctor looks at the nail on camera, advises on care and painkillers, checks for infection signs and arranges an in-person review if the nail bed or bone may be injured. Typical choices are 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
- Do not pull off a partly attached nail
- Cover the nail with a clean dressing
- Wash the area gently with soap and water
