Nails: One reason why your nail plates may be rising from th bed is an underlying fungal infection. See your dermatologist who can run a confirmatory test.

Multiple reasons: Mostly nail trauma. If you are a runner and the toe box is too small, this may cause this. Poorly fitting shoes can cause this as well.
