A member asked:
Hi doctor, the finger hand nails of my 11years old daughter have lines and nails almost turning brownish. she is not sick.what is the cause? can that be a vitamin deficiency maybe? is there anything to be concerned about?

Fungal infection: I would recommend seeing your physician, there are a number of possible conditions which may discolor the nails. Among these are infections, pigmentation and a number of syndromes. A well balanced diet and use of bottled water is suggested until evaluated. A photo for the physician may help to determine the cause.
