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.
Avoiding broken nail on holiday

Getting broken nail treated in Kumlubuku
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.
