A member asked:
I noticed that one of my toes has a horizontal white line and it slowly thickened moved up until it was raised and a new nail is under it. now, i can see my each two pinky toe developing the same thing. it was maybe due to trauma. is it onycholysis?

Common cause of horizontal white lines in toenails is trauma which can be trivial. Low serum albumin is another cause. Since you're now developing white lines on 2 other toenails, I recommend consulting a podiatrist for evaluation and any appropriate testing.

Thickened toenail, possibly runner injury over time, nail doesnt grow just gets thick, as if the nailbed isnt allowing it to grow upward. Could this be a fungus? It is only one toenail - next to pinky toe?
