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.

What is broken nail?

Nails can split, crack or tear, occasionally damaging the nail bed. It is usually minor but can hurt and may become infected.

Good to know: A nail grows back slowly, in about four to six months for a fingernail, so protect the nail bed while it heals.

Typical symptoms

Side: local notes for broken nail

Side combines sandy beaches with ancient ruins and the Temple of Apollo, so sun and walking on stone paths are typical. Beach sports, sunbeds and sandy water sports can split nails. Clean the area and cover it before getting back in the water.
