Nail index finger
I seem to have localized longitudinal erythronychia, unsure about it but it has been there for quite awhile.

Answer:
Hi, it's important to have any changes in your nails checked out by a healthcare professional, such as a dermatologist or general practitioner, as they can provide a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. Longitudinal erythronychia, which is red streaks in the nail, can be caused by various factors such as trauma, infection, inflammation, or underlying health conditions. To address this issue, I recommend scheduling an appointment with your healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation. They may recommend tests or procedures to determine the underlying cause and recommend appropriate treatment. In the meantime, avoid any further trauma to the nail and maintain good nail hygiene.
