Understanding broken nail
A broken nail is a split, crack or tear of the nail, sometimes with injury to the nail bed beneath. It is typically minor, but can be painful and may become infected.
Causes and risk factors
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
- Redness or swelling if infected
- Cracked, split or torn nail
- Pain and tenderness
- Bleeding under or around the nail
- Dark bruise under the nail
Treatment options for broken nail in Marmaris
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. Options may include 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
- Wash the area gently with soap and water
