Suggest Treatment For Mee Lines In Child

I have a 2 month old boy born by emergency C-section due to late decelerations. I have noticed that he has mee lines on all his finger nails. They are past halfway on the nail bed. I am wondering whether this is an indication of a systemic disease or whether it is likely benign?

Hi.... Many thanks for consulting in Health Care Magic. Those lines suggest only that some stressful period had long past gone by. Usually as the nail grows.. They will come off. Please do jot worry. Hope my answer was helpful for you. Happy to help anytime. Further clarifications and consultations on Health Care Magic are welcome.
