Interior door frame damages - strange

Hello ,
We recently finalized a house and we found the house mostly OK but we saw some weird kind of damages at the interior door frames (wood).
Checked with friends and realtor also. No one has any clue.. Pictures attached.

1. Why exactly such damages in a 14 years old house ? What are they?
2. Any ideas to fix them. I saw some door frame fix tools. Courtesy youtube videos..

Most likely caused by moving furniture or vacuuming damage. What do you mean "What are they?" , It is not caused by a pest or animal.

That's water damage. If you zoom in, you can see the MDF swell up near the floor. This is why I would never use MDF for trims. Trims take a lot more abuse than one would expect.

+1, looks like water swelling.
If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

I used to use MDF for all sorts of wood projects. Now I hate it. The dust sits in your shop forever, its bad for your lungs, and it sags like crazy.

Its on the second floor. Thats why I didn’t suspect a water damage but clearly the rooms are carpeted. Probably the carpet cleaning work ruined it.
Flooding I doubt coz its a open concept second floor. Water would have drained easily to first floor. Many thanks for your reply.
