Do you have a pictur: Dermatology is difficult to discuss with everyone's descriptions being different. Is the white lines moving out toward the end of the toe as the nail grows or is it staying in the same location? Is it on your fingers or just your toes and is it on all the toes or just some of the toes. This could be a fungal infection and if it is the white superficial fungal infections are the easiest to treat.

Many possible causes: Some causes of nail discoloration include trauma due to tight shoes, infection, and medication side effects. You should try wearing shoes with a higher wider toe box. Get the feet inspected by a professional to determine the cause of the problem, as treatment varies depending on the diagnosis.
