Possible Beau's line: Without a picture or exam, I can only suggest that the lines you are seeing are called Beau's lines which are horizontal lines or depressions in the nails. They are thought to come from mild trauma , chemotherapy or illness, conditions that can temporarily alter the growth of the nail. They are benign and will gradually grow to the distal part of the nail.
