Understanding broken nail
A broken nail is a split, crack or tear in the nail, sometimes with injury to the nail bed underneath. It is normally minor, but can be painful and may become infected.
Why broken nail happens
Snagging or bending the nail, knocks, crushing, door slams, sport and strong chemicals can break it, and brittle nails give way more readily.
How broken nail feels
- Redness or swelling if infected
- Cracked, split or torn nail
- Bleeding under or around the nail
- Dark bruise under the nail

Care and treatment for broken nail
On video the doctor 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.
- Wash the area gently with soap and water
- Cover the nail with a clean dressing
- Do not pull off a partly attached nail
- Trim any sharp, loose edge with clean scissors
