What to know about broken nail in Manavgat
Manavgat is known for its waterfall and river boat trips, so boat days, sun and sea water mix together. Beach sports, sunbeds and sandy water sports can split nails. Clean the area and cover it before getting back in the water.
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 typically minor but can hurt and may become infected.
Symptoms of broken nail
- Bleeding under or around the nail
- Redness or swelling if infected
- Pain and tenderness
- Dark bruise under the nail
Causes and risk factors
Snagging or bending the nail, knocks, crushing, door slams, sport and strong chemicals can break it, and brittle nails give way more readily.
How to lower your risk of broken nail
Keep nails trimmed and smooth, wear gloves for heavy work and protect fingers around doors and equipment.
How broken nail is treated
The doctor looks at the nail on camera, advises on care and pain relief, checks for signs of infection and arranges an in-person review if the nail bed or bone may be injured. Treatment can involve wound cleaning, a dressing and, if infected, an antibiotic; a nail bed injury may need in-person repair.
- Cover the nail with a clean dressing
- Wash the area gently with soap and water
