Question Fingernail problem

I have these red lines under my fingernails. It looks kind of like how your nail looks when you are sewing and you accidently stick the needle under the nail into your skin and it bleeds a bit..I dunno what this is..I get iot every so often but it not like I use nail polish alot or anything...what could this be?

They are probably just splinter hemorrages and nothing to worry about. they happen when the nail plate does not develop cells properly, and there are voids between the cell plates. They fill up with blood and end up looking like you have a splinter under the nail plate. They will grow out with the plate and eventually dissappear until it happens again.
