I am expiriencing sort of pitting and grooving in my thumbnails. I try to applie an antifungul but to no avail. I seems to dry it but does not cure it. How did I get this and what can I do to end it? I a Doctor visit my best bet?

Do you have any other medical conditions? Anemia can cause this, as well as smoking. Are you a smoker?

I get this because I am allergic to lemon juice,and I waitress,so I get it under my nails.I don't touch them but the tongs we use to pick them up with gets on my nails.also fake nails will damage the surface of your nails.Nothing has worked for me,but keep them short and maybe it will grow out.

There is a fungal infection called onycholysis (I'll look it up) I think you have this it is treatable with anti-fungal medication.

Here is some info for you
