A member asked:
I am getting waves going from my cuticle to the end of my nail. it's only in my thumbnails at the moment. should i worry?

Show it to: Dermatologist. If the waves are vertical, they might mean a glomus tumor of base of nail. If they are horizontal, probably some infection. Nothing life-threatening, but probably disfiguring if you left it alone.
