What Could Abnormal Curved Line Growing Finger Nail Signify?
fingernails I have several fingernails that have recently shown a curved line going from the top of the nail and descending about half way down the nail and then up again to the other top side of the nail. The nail within that curve and to the white edge is raised somewhat.

This happens due to separation of nail plate from nail bed in the distal part. Cause may be excess use of nail polish or dome chemical or biotin deficiency. Fungal infection can not be ruled out. Do a fungal test from nail clipping. Take fluconazole 150mg tab once a week for 8 weeks.
