Typical symptoms
- Bleeding under or around the nail
- Cracked, split or torn nail
- Redness or swelling if infected
- Pain and tenderness
- Dark bruise under the nail
Avoiding broken nail on holiday
Keep nails trimmed and smooth, wear gloves for heavy work and protect fingers around doors and equipment.
