I have a problem with my fingernails. They are only about 1/4 inch long, but they are curling under. What could be the cause of this? I know nails curl under when they get really long, but mine aren't that long. It is only on 1 finger on my right hand and 3 fingers on my left hand. And idea why this is happening?

i had the same issue, i just started cutting my nails in a different way (straight down without making a round shape, and Alahmdulilah they grew back great)

I have a similar problem with all of my nails...They actually curve under in some places, but upward in others. I have been operating under the assumption that this is due to scar tissue from when I used to chew my nails really badly (but I could be wrong, so I'll look forward to an answer from someone with more knowledge).
I have solved the problem by having acrylic nails put on.

maybe you use that finger alot and its just formed to grow downward. i would get acrylic, it might help.
