Hi....Why my right hand thumb nail has become uneven...like a bumpy road..it develops from the base of the thumb and slowly comes towards the nail growth....once it gets cut as nail....again the bump starts from the base of the thumb....

Ans: Internal crush injury happened sometime earlier must have developed fibrous tissue which could be a reason for the bump
Or if there is discolouration, check out for fungal infection of the nail
