Bumps in nails, what could this be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Trauma: Most bumps or ridges in the nails come from traumatizing them. It doesn't have to be major trauma like dropping something on them, but can be from small, repetitive micro-trauma. I recommend you see a dermatologist for further evaluation.
