I’m a woman in my 40s, and over the last several months I’ve noticed tiny pits forming on several fingernails along with parts of the nails lifting slightly from the tips. It started on one nail but slowly spread to a few more. Sometimes the lifted area feels a bit tender when I press on it, and seeing it worsen has made me quite self-conscious.
You can carefully trim only the loose, non-attached portion—avoiding force—so it doesn’t catch or worsen, but keep the area protected.
