How To Cure Deep Groove Running The Length Of Right Forefinger At Bottom Of Nail?
I have a deep groove running the length of my right forefinger, it taper at the bottom of the nail but widens towards the tip. It is about 2mm wide at the tip reducing to 1mm at the base where there appears to be a shallow oval knot. It looks like the nail id being slowly eroded by the oval knot. It doesn t hurt but is growing deeper - any ideas what it might be and how to cure?

Hello
you might be suffering from atrophoderma.
it is a condition characterised by formation of linear grooves.
Treatment can be with steroids.
A photograph would have helped me better.
Please meet a dermatologist for confirmation of diagnosis.
