A member asked:

I have a white chalky line under the nail fold of my big toe. it doesnt hurt and i had it for a bit, anyone know what it is? i just want to make sure its not an infection, i will say i do have i grown nails currently healing and not causing pain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

“Chalky” is a description used to describe a fungal infection of the nail. A white horizontal line that continues to grow outward over six months could be the result of disruption of circulation to the nail matrix. From the infection. and not a concern
