I think scurvy can effect your nails, are you getting enough vitamin C. It could just be a lack of vitamins. start taking a one a day vitamin and vitamin c and see if that helps.

I seem to remember reading about such a condition in school...that's been a long time ago though. Search the internet for 'clubbing' of the fingers. You may see something in there that matches what you are asking about. Hope this helps. Jeff the nurse in Nashville.
