A member asked:
The top of my nail is white and extends downward towards the middle of my nail..also feels a little sensitive to the touch. what does this mean?

White line: That line could be from trauma to the nail in view of the associated tenderness. If the white line is from trauma, it will disappear when the nail fully grows out. White lines are usually not serious. A dermatologist could advise you if you still have concerns.
