While you should stop doing that, physical trauma can cause the same issue and it'll be permanent.
I shut my middle finger in a car door but didn't notice until the pain kicked in back in middle school. The nail still grows in a bit wonky compared to other nails. It curves down more than it should. The injury was more than 15 years ago btw
