A member asked:
A few days ago i noticed my nails have this pale mark along the top of the end of all my nails. is it nothing or an indication of something else?

Normal: This is a totally normal finding in the vast majority of people. If you have excessive brittle nails or white line in the middle of the nail it could be a sign of a vitamin deficiency and needs evaluation, but what you described is normal. No need to worry!
