Funny Inward Bumps/pock Marks On My Nails..?
Posted: 10-16-05 11:53am

Hi,

does anyone know what is causing these weird pock marks in my nails? Each nail is beginning to grow a very bumpy surface, the only way I can describe it is mini craters - like the surface of the moon only miniature!! It sounds strange but i'm telling the truth! There are no ridges either horizontal or vertical and they are no more brittle or peeling than normal. In fact prior to this beginning I had very strong healthy nails. I have recently started a pretty stressful job (teaching) and I did have an accident with my ring finger nail where the nail was pulled away from the nail bed. That seems to be on the mend now though.

What is causing these horrible inward bumps and what can I do to stop them?

Thanks!

Miss t

Actually I changed my mind. It's more the texture of orange peel. I've certainly never seen it before on anyone else.

I still haven't found out and my nails have been growing like this for months now! :cry:

i'm hoping that by bumping this post back to the top of the forum someone new will see it and know what's wrong. The other day I was painting with the children (i'm a teacher) and the paint started to stick to the indentations giving my nails a blue dalmation pattern. The children were horrified - "urgh! Miss! What's happened to your fingers?"!
