Bump on my fingernail
On my right thumb, on the bottom, I have a bump on my nail. I have put on fake nails before. It's not hurting, but it does distract me. Should I go see a doctor, or wait for it to heal

ok you might have some sort of fungus thats just in that one spot.
If you do put on nails alot then know this: while your wearing fake nails, your real nails cant breathe, therefore they could react badly after a while if you have fake nails on on for usually long periods of time and then go back and get them redone all the time.
((i actually went to school for this, i went to nail school for a year and can legally work in a nail salon even though i dont currently))
You can sand down the bump on your nail and then get some collodial silver from the store and keep putting a couple drops on a band-aid while allowing your nail to fully grow out until you can just cut it off with clippers.
Also for anyone else here that has weak nails of any kind, you can get whats called "silk wraps" at a salon done. This is where they re-enforce your nail strength until your nails can fully grow out again and you can assentially start over. While you have these on you should take calcium suppliments so a few months to allow your body to focus on giving your nails the attention they need. ; )

I've always had weak nails, flimsy, tear and split easily into layers like flake pastry crust, and prone to never be smooth but having all sorts of bumpiness like waves across the length of them.
When I tried fake nails, I only made my nails worse. I think theres something in the glue that hurts or weakens the nail further.
And yes, I tried knox gelatin for my nails and all sort of natural health store solutions to give strong healthy nails and it didn't help me. I can't say what is causing a bump on your nail.
But if its just a bump in the nail itself, in time it will grow out, moving closer to the tip of your nail until the time u get to trim it off. But if you have some sort of deficiency in yur body or its hereditary, this issue may at some point increase and show in other nails too.
If the bump you speak of is actually something on the nail bed, the part of your finger the nail is attached to, if its not sore, growing larger or causing pain, showing signs of pus or infection then its probably nothing a Dr can make go away. I as a child did get some thing under the nail of one index finger which didnt cause a bump on the nail but caused the whole area to swell and =become very tender. I had a pus infection under the nail which developed to critical point in two weeks time. I was only five and traumatized at the time when mon took me to dr, who made a tiny poke or snip to drain the pus, and when seeing how loose the nail had become and there was little chance of it reattaching itself, gave one quick yank and it came off. I was bandaged up given antibiotics and that little white half moon you see at the base of your nail is a new one waiting to grow out, a replacement nail in case needed. So thats worst case scenerio in case yours develops into an infection. Otherwise probably nothing. If its really bothering you, the best thing is to go see the Dr. at the very least to have peace of mind if its nothing.
