A member asked:
Why does my fingernail curve downward as it grows? it only curls down on one side. the side it curls on is larger than the other side of the nail.

As nails grow they : can curve, have you ever seen the guinness book guy with longest fingernails ( they look like waterpark slides). I would not be worried, See dermatologist if you really want a confirmatory answer
