Fingernail not smooth
Common Questions and Answers about Fingernail not smooth
nail
I have an 8 yr old daughter who has two fingernails, one on each hand, that are not smooth, they are slightly bumby and the nail that grows out at the end is not uniform, curvy. They do not have complete horizontal ridges across them. Sort of like moguls on a ski slope. They are not discolored and it only occurs in those two fingernails.
She has had this for close to a year. She's rarely sick and if it was nail fungus I would think it would have spread to her other nails.
For about 6 weeks I've had a lump on my labia majora about half the size of a fingernail. It's itchy and sometimes painful like a pimple. It is completely smooth and the tissue around it isn't red or anything. Doesn't look like a wart or a sore at all. It hasn't changed
I'm thinking it's just an ingrown hair that is out of control. I have only one partner with no STD history and I have no history of STDs.
Just a tiny, firm bump. I know it was not there a day or two earlier because I've been admittedly pretty paranoid about HSV-1 (even though I know rationally that's idiotic). Pressing on the bump revealed a singular, tiny white head without any discomfort.
This morning, the bump was still present. I gave it a little scratch with my fingernail and it "popped" in a sense. Nothing seemed to come out, but there was a tiny speck of red blood in the center of it.
If the baby is a newborn, he might or might not look a lot like his father. I would not use only one particular body cue out of all the parts of his body and try to determine a resemblance. I noticed that photographs of my husband when he was a baby were very similar in appearance to photographs of my son when he was a baby, but it was harder to see the resemblance in person than in the photographs.
Why is my fingernail on my middle finger starting to pull away from my skin and turn white and the bottom half is pitting and peeling? What could this be?
I had a corneal abrasion, (fingernail in eye) immediately visited the optometrist who prescribed antibiotics, steroid drops, and no contact wear. After followup 4 days later, the drops were tapered off and I was cleared to wear contacts in a few days (7 days after injury). I could somewhat verify the progression of healing at home; the vertical light on my makeup mirror reflected on my cornea - the reflection was smooth expect for the injury, where the reflection rippled.
Can HIV be transmitted if semen got underneath a fingernail? In otherwords, is the tissue underneath the fingernail vulnerable to passing HIV into the blood stream?
m saying to myself could I have given myself whitlow from my zipper to the underneath of my fingernail? Not on anything, nor having a outbreak . My hand is feeling numb and so is my wrist now. Could I have past herpes to the underneath of my fingernail possibly giving myself whitlow from my zipper? I've read the virus can live on surfaces and now I'm worried its under my fingernail and is now going to be whitlow?
Does herpes whitlow cause pain under the fingernail and forearm? I've heard of the tingling and burning, I'm not feeling either but I'm feeling numbness under the fingernail and forearm? I did use the bathroom and with the same hand I pulled up my zipper and then in seconds used the underneath of my fingernail very firmly to secure it without washing my hands, very paranoid I spread the virus to my zipper then to the underneath of my fingernail.
I scratched it using my fingernails and i noticed the pimple rash had a blood (red but the blood did not went outside the body) and i checked the fingernail that i used there is no visible blood also...

Higk Risk, Low Risk Or No Risk?

Could this be a type of fingernail material growing from the scalp? The physical consistency of this 'hair' strongly resembles that of a fingernail. Extensive searching the net has found nothing. Surely my daughter is not the only case like this. I read about keratin, but it seems the keratin in hair and nails is the same.
In fall of 2003, after learning my bf had been unfaithful, I developed painful sores in the vaginal area that were diagnosed (by sight only) as genital herpes. I sought a second opinion a year later and a blood test was negative for all types of HSV (herpes).
My current relationship has been monogamous for over 2 years. I have no worries on that count.
God bless you, thank you for the fast reply.
Hey there,
Am I at risk of any serious disease if I get a very mild scratch from some other man's fingernail? This happened to me a few days back while travelling in a train. Since then, I have been thinking about it and it has been causing me a lot of anxiety. Any help would be extremely appreciated.
Thanks and regards.
I did not think much about it at the time except it hurt but a few hours later I remembered the door opener felt wet when I opened the door and I did not pay much attention to it and it was not well lit.
I went to Dr about this and he had not seen this before. It is the thumbnail only that is affected and the whiteness started from the base. It is slightly sore when pressed,
He now wants to test my immune system and everything, so slightly worried!! But , again , no other nail is affected.
Any advice?
About two months ago my fingernail developed a black mark near the nailbed. It has since continued up toward the top of the nail while changing brownish now puple with the uppermost tip is turning white. I have an appointment in October.It doesn't hurt and does not appear to look fungal according to my doctor. Is October to long to wait? I read that melanoma can develop under the nail.
Ever since I can remember, on my thumbnail and big-toe nail, there has been a strange deterioration. It looks like a series of grooves in the center of the nail (see attached pictures). My fingernails aren't weak or brittle and they're not really falling off or anything. I don't think it's anything serious, but I've always been curious what it is. If anybody could help at all, that would be great.
I went to wash it and she pulled away and her fingernail digging into my hand I used and cut it with her fingernail drawing blood. Is there a risk to spreading herpes to the underneath of her fingernail grinding the virus into the underneath of the nail? Thanks.
I kept fingering him and then I noticed some blood under my fingernail as a result of cutting him inside his anus. My fingernail had a tingle to it and when I pressed down it looked like more blood came out. I dont know if I was cut by my own fingernail and/or he was cut inside is anus. I truly believe I had a cut under my finger AND he was cut inside his anus as well and there was blood. I just sent him a text to clarify his status and he said that he is HIV+.
Two months ago I trapped my finger stupidly in the door (where the hinges are) and today the nail finally fell off. I have added a photo as I am not sure if everything is ok. I guess what is the nail is growing back but its like a half inch bump in the middle of the nail, Could anyone recommend if I should leave nature take it's course, or should I see a doctor?
