lunula, they are sometimes also called moons. if they are just pulled back under the skin you can push the skin back so they are there again. if they dissapear completely it might be a sign of some problem

The lunula may disappear in the presence of poor nutrition with protein deficiency and with chronic diseases, such as liver cirrhosis, heart failure, diabetes, tuberculosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis.';What are the white things on your finger nails called?
