Injured nail matrix: Your nails grow from specialized tissue at the base of the nail. Sometimes these special cells can be injured or damaged and, as the nail grows out, it looks different in that area where the injured cells were. When the cells are permanently injured, the nail will have a line on it as it grows out.
