About 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 hurt and may become infected.
Why broken nail happens
Snagging or bending the nail, knocks, crushing, door slams, sport and strong chemicals can break it, and brittle nails give way more readily.
What to know about broken nail in Tekirova
Most guests in Tekirova are there for the sea, and the sun, the chlorine and the buffet queues cause most of the minor illnesses. Close by are Belek, Side, Alanya, which share the same medical services. Beach sports, sunbeds and sandy water sports can split nails. Clean the area and cover it before getting back in the water.
Travel guide to Tekirova
Tekirova lies beside the ruins of ancient Phaselis, a former port city with three harbours. Trip for travellers: combine the ruins with a swim in the bays, then walk the pine-forest paths nearby. Shops here are limited, so buy souvenirs in Kemer; diving and boat trips are the main water activities.
How broken nail is treated
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. Depending on your case, the doctor may suggest wound cleaning, a dressing and, if infected, an antibiotic; a nail bed injury may need in-person repair.
