• What is a Fingernail Injury?
• Nails are an important part of our hands.
  However, nail injuries are also very common.
  Fingernail injury occurs when there is an injury
  to the fingernail. This injury can occur in any
  part of the nail such as the cuticle, the skin
  under the nail, or the skin around the nail.
  Injury can cut, break, or injure the nail. This
  type of injury can be painful but most often it
  is not considered serious. You can get rid of
  pain or infection due to minor nail problems at
  home but for serious or complicated problems, it
  is important to get professional help.
