A member asked:

I have increased areas of white on my finger nails starting at the top over the last two weeks. what should i do please?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See a dermatologist: Need inspection by skin specialist to define the problem. Possibly it is mechanical onycholysis due to compulsive cleaning under the nails.
