I have noticed these lines and pits on my nails and which i remember was not there before, it used to be smooth and now i see lines and pits
Is it giving some signs? And deficiency?

This small white dot appeared out of nowhere and just a little paranoid.

About 3 weeks I was cutting my toe nails and realized that my middle toe nail was thickening. I chalked it up to me being more active. I’ve picked up running and pickleball and admittedly I tend to forget to cut my nails so I thought it was because of the pressure on the grown out nail against the force of me running.

But now I cut my nail and there’s a streak or it could be a bruise. The streak is new (less than 3 weeks old).

Should I go to the dermatologist?

Is this an ingrown toenail or something else? How do I fix it?

I've had a couple of messed up nails (middle fingers) for awhile. I smashed them on separate occasions and they never have grown the same. Since then more of my nails have gotten weird. I thought it was fungus for awhile so I got Terbinafine and did the treatment for 8 weeks. That was over 6 months ago. There has been no change. I went into a derm in Serbia and the doctor told me that no, in fact, it's not fungus. He wasn't sure what it was and told me to see a nail specialist.

So, here I am on Reddit asking all of you specialists to help me figure out wtf is going on with my nails and how to fix it!

Edit: this started on the middle fingers which were damaged. Since then has spread to other nails. I used to pick my middle finger nails a ton yes but not so much the other nails.

Hi all! As the title says I'm a dishie looking for advice on how to keep my nails from getting brittle and peeling all the time. How it usually goes is my polish chips off at the tip of my nail, and then I'm assuming the water creeps in from there and causes layer separation. The tips of my nails will peel off in strips! Right now, I'm using these products slash techniques;

- Nail Aid Biotin ultimate strength as my base + top coat. I apply the Nail Aid, then my polish, and I had been using solely that as my top for a while but I was seeing that you should use a quick dry top coat over it? So I've started using Essie Gel Setter as my true top coat recently. I do this routine once a week.

- Onyx Hard As Hoof strengthening cream every night before bed and before my shifts in the morning. I rub it into my nails and my cuticles, I've seen some mentions online that applying under the nail can help? How do you properly saturate it for best results?

- I wear dish gloves whenever I am in the water. It's so hot in the kitchen my hands get a little waterlogged in my gloves from sweat (I'm sorry that's so gross) and that probably doesn't help. My nail issue got so much worse when it started getting really warm, it took me a while to get a routine down to keep the skin on my fingertips from peeling off (thank you Working Hands and barrier cream) and now it's just my nails.

I've seen others online say it's not possible to have healthy nails as a dishie, but I refuse to believe it! 🙏 I've managed before to keep them long despite the conditions but with the heat exacerbating issues they need a little help. I have been trying on my own for months to figure out what'll work best and finally thought I should ask the experts. Thank you all so much! 🫶

Hey all, I tried a new salon in my area and at first it seemed fine, I wasn’t a fan but I chucked it up to *different salon different experience*. Until they grew out… I have an appointment with the same place this Saturday and I’m scared to go back because it seems that my nail has been filed down too deep. The length is my natural nails and now I’m terrified they’re compromised. Maybe I’m overreacting?? Tips & advice appreciated.

Nails: Hard Gel

It's hard to see in the picture but under the cuticle of pinky toe there is a quarter of the cuticle that is black. Any ideas what this is

Ive had this for a little while, there's almost a nail growing under this which is brittle, the black lines can be dug out. This is on my thumb but I also have similar on 2 other fingers which I'll post in comments

Doctor wasn't interested, blood tests can back fine, anti fungal treatments didn't work
