Cover with micro pore.
If a crack then clear nail varnish helps.
Also Vaseline over will help stop bacteria setting in.

It could be that egg did not have enough calcium to make it strong.
I would make sure your female is fed food covered in calcium, and even a dish of it for her to eat. I know two of my females will eat calcium powder:0)
