It could be a mild form of psoriasis. Most pictures of nail psoriasis shows brown holes in the nail, but this is the more severe cases. Psoriasis is little understood, if you ask me, but is said to be an autoimmune disease that is inheritable. It consists of a faster than normal expulsion of skin - thus exposing immature skin.

Another posibility is bacterial infection - if this is the case then some antibacterial can be directed under the nail. For example some kind of alchoholic vaseline.

If this does not help within some days its probably psoriasis. Fungal infection is not likely.

Another thing is sometimes if you can apply some pressure unto the nail pressing it onto the finger for a prolonged time can fasten it again - it might sting a little, but it will go away - only for psoriasis.

Some indications of psoriasis is that the attack gets more severe in the winter and better in the summer. Other indications could be if family members has psoriasis of some type.

Last possibility, i know of, is that the nail at a immature time has gotten a hard pounding. - The nail extends rather far under the skin of the finger and because of the slow growth damages that happened further up the joint can be exposed via the nail several months later.
