Chevron nail, also known as a herringbone nail, is a rare transient fingernail ridge pattern seen in children, a ridge arising from the proximal nailfold and converging in a V-shaped pattern towards the midpoint distally.James, William; Berger, Timothy; Elston, Dirk (2005). Andrews' Diseases of the Skin: Clinical Dermatology. (10th ed.). Saunders. {{ISBN|0-7216-2921-0}}.{{rp|786}} The nail growth pattern has no known association with medical problems and tends to resolve by early adulthood.{{cite web |url=http://www.indianpediatrics.net/feb2010/feb-181-182.htm |title=Chevron Nail |publisher=Indian Pediatrics Journal |author1=Monteagudo, Benigno |author2=Suárez-Amor, Óscar |date=February 2010 |accessdate=2014-02-08}}
