The Cause Of Vertical Ridges on Your Nails 

I got ridges on my nails as I got older. Nothing to worry about. I am a healthy 80 year old

I’ve had raised ridges on my thumb nails for several years that is associated with Hashimoto’s Thyroid disease ( which I have ). I started taking Selenium and Zinc just recently. My nails ( in a matter of 2 weeks ) have returned to healthy looking nails again. AMAZING transformation.

ThankYou! Best Advise on ridges in nails I've seen many and none as informative as yours😘

The ridges I had for over 30 years turn out to be a B12 deficiency that was never treated and I ended up developing pernicious anemia..a horrible disease 😢 Dr's always said all my symptoms were in my head

I started applying vase line on my nails after every kitchen work completed and my nail quality improved. I also eat curd each day for my b12 as I am lacto vegetarian, and try to eat more greens. It was so helpful, especially the auto immune condition like Hashimoto thyroiditis that makes iron absorption difficult. Since I switched to eating more berries in my food platter, things have stabilised remarkably. Thabk you.

I've had deep ridges on my nails ever since I can remember. It's something that runs iny family. For us, it's nothing to worry about.

Quite thorough for possibilities. Like they said, must consider other symptoms too.

Very thorough.. Thank you

Thank you for the video. Blessings to you.

I had spoon shaped nails for a long time and it was cured when i was diagnosed with low vitamin D levels and prescribed vit D. Nails grew back normal after 3 weeks of vit D supplementation.

thank you very much for giving important information

Thanks for this information and explanation.

Thank you 🙏

I’m 67, I’ve done the fake nails,glue, smothering my nails to the point they couldn’t breathe. Our nails need moisture, oils, and yes I have ridges. It took 2 months of constant moisture application and wearing gloves for dishes, what an improvement. I also put gold bond under my nails. Don’t try to bend your nails or use them as tools. I’ll use nail polish for special accusations only. ( I have very thin nails)

Thank you so much for this video 😊❤ pay attention to your whole body and take care of yourself ❤😊gracias

Good info. Thanks

I since I was a child sufferd from anaemia periodically, years later I had my gall removed which increases nutritional problems leading to daily intake of Vitimine suplements ,then found out my thyroid was slightly low function but nothing much can be done about it, so my nails have always been brittle, ridged badly and so it gets worse as I get older.Never had good nails and so I just keep them short neet and just look after my hands ,the hair is thining and brittle also so its a fight just to look ok.....but it appears its stacked against me.

Thanks for sharing

Truly BRILLIANT...I have watched tons of binding videos, read tutorials etc. YOURS IS THE BEST EVER! Question I see you are working on a smaller piece how do you do support a queen or king size?

Thanks 👍

Thanks for your explanation ,very informative.

Mine was low iron! Had to go to ER to get a blood transfusion.

Deficiency in iron develops vertical ridges, fatigue, anemia Celiac causes malabsorbtion of micronutrients, minerals and essential fats

The cause of the ridges are very clear. They are saying that if u have the ridges, you need to see your doctor to determine which one is your problem.

I've got ridges on me nails,I've been a nail biter all my life. I know I've got many minor health problems that the ridges could be part of,if you mention these to a GP they'll see it as no harm.

Hypo or under active thyroid causes vertical ridges and splitting peeling brittle nails

Que es el selenios en donde se compra yo también tengo las uñas con estrías

I hate these AI robotic voice videos. I can’t watch it to the end!

Lots of pld people have it

For years I have had the ridges and I have no moon-shapes (lunula) at all on any nails which I have thought was always strange. I'm taking vitamins and even started eating organic seaweed sheets. ( Has lots of minerals/vitamins ) I haven't noticed anything different though.

My finger nails are MUCH worse than my toenails. Only difference in the negative is that I get my hands wet massively more times. I noticed my nails begin to flake and crack seven years ago when I started looking after Mum, including loads more washing of ALL types. THERE'S YOUR ANSWER. I note some posts below advocating wearing rubber gloves and that's where I'm going.

Podrían poner subtitulos por favor 👍

I have low stomach acid and I understand that it can be from that

How do you correct Deep vertical ridges that split and peel in layers ? Is it a lack of EFA's in the diet or dehydration ?

QUESTION: I'VE DEVELOPED A CRACK IN THE MIDDLE OF MY THUMB NAIL. I DIDN'T HURT IT. THE NAIL THAT GROWS OUT HAS A CRACK AND I MUST CONSTANTLY KEEP IT TRIMMED BACK TO PREVENT IT GETTING SNAGGED ON SOMETHING. WHAT WOULD CAUSE THIS. I DO HAVE RA. THANKS

I have Hemochromatosis so I have to watch my Iron intake and vitamin D

Hi, my nails have ridges that have gotten so bad that they r actually becoming square, my little finger has a 90 degree square angle and it’s happening on a lot on my other nails, how can I fix this, thanks

How about years of the drill from artificial nail application at the nail shop.😢

It would be nice if we didn't have to worry sbout our toe nalis growing

Can chemotherapy infusion cause the ridges. I'm going through chemo and I developed those ridges, but, I've been biting my nails since I got teeth 😁. Help 😨😭

mega like

I onlyhave 6 matrixes! 🤣

I only have nail ridges on my thumb nail on my left hand. They are very noticeable. I am 71 years old and anemic. In fact I go for my last infusion this Friday. I usually have to get them twice a year that last once a week for three weeks. I have no internal bleeding. No one knows why I am this way.

I only have ridges in my thumbs. Other nails are smooth

It ‘may’ be this, or it ‘may’ be that or ‘may’ be something else. In effect, you have no definitive causes at all!

Unfortunately the conventional medical community is unaware of this and dismiss you when bring it up.

Vertical ridges showed stage one lung Cancer for me!

Ridges can cause any mental disorders? Dr Sir

🤔

I think it's coffee intake that provokes intestinal bleeding and creates iron deficiency

A lot of information 😮. I have autoimmune THYROIDITIS 😢. Both spectrum 🤔 and you do have be on thyroxine forever 😢. Vit B, had treatment. I have lupus/myopathy 😱. They cause nail problems too. Some bruising, and also redness under nail bed. Potassium, can cause these issues too. Most likely because I was a baby. I lost my little toe nail, from a bottie, the wool caught around my little toe, never been a problem though.🌺

I went to the doctors because my finger is all my middle finger on the right hand was all swollen and the skin was coming back on the cuticle and I went to the hospital and they said the lady doctor said it was a blocked cuticle. Didn’t tell me how to treat it, but I treated it with that stuff what you keep clean your hands with all the time when we had Covid, but what it’s called, but you know what I mean, that’s the only hands on that finger all the time, and it healed it after a while, but then the doctor said he’s got any more trouble at 32 and another doctor I went to another Doctor Who is an Indian doctor and he said that to you or are you’ve got arthritis I said yes and I showed the papers which which a hospital gave me paper to tell me of arthritis and he said that you need that finger near the word for it, but it means take the bones out each side and I won’t be able to bend it properly well and he said if you’ve got pain I’ll do it when I get saying, I’ve got no pain I took a picture of a me a hand and he said in between your joints are in between a finger you’ve got no fluid and in between and I seen this happened but I didn’t believe it there’s any might be right, but from that day till this day said he’s an operation on your finger is a doctor told me to block cuticle. Will it healed of adobo problem with my finger except it is slightly swollen with that’s that’s the arthritis fair enough I’ve got a pain in the fingers, I can use my fingers just as normal as you can’t at the moment so that’s always trust the doctors telling you because my instinct told me it was a first one what she said it was, it was a block cuticle is swollen, and then I will fluid coming out at the finger on the top of the finger. It’s rolled up like a balloon are at but I know that but it got burgers all the liquid come out did it again and again and then it stopped that are treated. It myself went to the hospital like I have explained to you And then it cleared up at self and even if the doctors secretary rang me up to are you going to have your finger done? I said no, but I’ve got no pain. It was about to take the bones out your fingers unnecessary and I do is block cuticle like she said because it cleared up and I’ve had no pain with it okay with sore on top where the queue to go and give it to the joint itself wasn’t give me any any problems that are still family fingers and do bricked up new number I could do it so I know if it was okay I just thought I thought is to yourself people wise to somebody want to do an operation pop in for money I don’t know I know he gets paid he might get extra because he’s doing is about to be outside finger about the way I work for the health service 33 years service I wasn’t qualified but I kind of knowledge to know a little bit. Thank you.

I agree no definitive answers.

It could be this or a million things

Age pretty simple age causes lines

This is also caused by having hemorrhoids

When I was 4 my sister slammed the car door on my thumb. I screamed, and, my mom started yelling & hitting my sister. It was bleeding and hurt. My nail came off completely and when it grew back there were vertical ridges. When my nails grow out they are always splitting which hurt if I bump the nail into things. So I have to keep them trimmed. Forget about trying to have nice manicured nails.

B.S...apply Vaseline to the nails every night Ridges disappear

old age ?? maybe

What do i do to geth my iron up

I have vertical ridges along with think vertical black line. What does that mean?.

Eat berries! Goood nails

Dragged out, tedious waste of time for clicks.

Stop fileing nails backward...you are going against the grain!

Its too bad you chose an AI voice. I bet you probably had good info, but the automated voice is too annoying to listen to. It screams that you don't care enough about your listeners to actually take the time and talk with us.

Oh cool another robot speaking video... unbelievable
