See dermatologist: The description of your finger nails may be due to some vitamin deficiency,like vitaminB-(folic acid or vit b-12)or some fungal infection of nails . Let dermatologist see and explain about your nail and prescribe the right treatment ,some times iron deficiency also affects the nails
