fingernail ridges causes horizontal

They do not have complete horizontal ridges across them. Sort of like moguls on a ski slope. They are not discolored and it only occurs in those two fingernails. She has had this for close to a year. She's rarely sick and if it was nail fungus I would think it would have spread to her other nails.

What do the lines look like and are they colored? If you have fingernail fungus the topicals don't work. You would have to take a prescription oral drug (Lamisil) for three months then it kills the nail. I just went through this with my toe nail. The nail is usually yellowish.

I have had horizontal ridges on my fingernails for probably 10 years now. I have also had soft stools consistently for years now, which I have read could be a sign of too much fat in your stool. I notice that some type of liquid/oil comes off of the stool too, and floats in the water. The stool also sticks to the side of the toilet after I flush it away. Could these be signs that something is wrong with my liver? I have read that the fingernail ridges could be due to malabsorption.

Horizontal ridges and white lines on nails are seen in trauma to nail bed, kidney diseases, pellagra or Vit B3 deficiency, low protein, arsenic poisoning, and liver diseases. Hence a kidney and liver function test should be done.

Really? Did you have a biopsy? if so what stage fibrosis? I didn't get any discoloration only the horizontal ridges across my nails. Hope they go soonish!

Beau lines (horizontal ridges on the nails) is a sign of injury or a underlying disease affecting the growth of the nail plate. Beau's nails can be due to conditions such as severe illness, Raynaud's phenomenon, pemphigus, chemotherapy, high fever. You numb toes/purple nails indicates likely Raynaud's phenomenon. Raynaud's can be primary or secondary (caused by an underlying disease, condition, or other factor).

I have just been dealing with this same discussion in the last couple days, regarding toenail ridges and horizontal lines on toenails. I have found out about psoriatic nails, found in people with psoriasis, and ridges and peeling in your finger or toenails has to do with iron. High iron manifests in skin problems, and psoriasis is common in iron disorders. Google it with typing in peeling toenails or fingernails. Here is a link.

For the past 9-10 months, I've been constantly feeling tired. It's not so much muscle fatigue as it is more like my brain is "foggy" and I sort of feel a bit sleepy all the time. I can't concentrate because of it. It's extremely frustrating and it affects everything I do. I've also had a dry cough for about 6 months now. It's usually just 1 or 2 short coughs at a time (though this happens a lot throughout the day).

finger nails suddenly growing horizontal dips and vertical ridges.

what's up with deep vertical nail ridges? and what are they a sign of? is it parathyroidism too? I have low vit d3 levels and low thyroid. I am now being tested for parathyroid but only after insisting on it because this is the second time in the past year my vit d level dropped under 15. The bone pain in awful. This time around I have it in my right leg and thumbs, last time pain was across my upper back and thumbs as well as other bone locations on the body. Silly isn't it?

s general health. Ridges, pits,thickening or thinning of nails may suggest an underlying infection, kidney disease or nutrient deficiency. In your case,differentials will be a fungal infection, psoriasis or it may be a benign presentation of an underlying infection. Do you have any other associated signs or symptoms like a rash or scaly plaque in other parts of the body?

I don't believe that it's lactose that causes that, otherwise just about everyone with lactose intolerance would have those marks. I've heard of people with Celiac getting those streaks in the teeth, because that was one of the ways my nephew's parents discovered he had Celiac. He can't have gluten or dairy either one, which is normally the issue with Celiac.

I too had it for the last few years. I keep them short now. Just worked on that janky toenail I've had too. Sandal ready. Uhm, kinda. Mine have ridges too. Another thing I kept asking dr about for years. So- does it get better post tx? My iron is a love hate thing. I had to drop it for tx, but try n get it in my diet. I DID find an iron free multiple vit. That way I can kind of control the dose n not overload liver. My.. Chatty me tonight.

Hi I just want to know what can cause some or all of these combined symptoms, Hair thinning, lost of appetite, a few dark toenails but not all of them, 1 fingernail half light pink half light brown with vertical lines no ridges, wart on ball of both feet and lately some lost of taste (I'm thinking due to thin white film on tongue) I was a Severe smoker until recently when I stopped.

I have horizontal ridges on my toe nails. I also have pains or aches I my neck wrists and sometimes hips I have a history of raynaurds my gp asked if I smoke the minute I replied yes he refused to treat me.

10, I had 2 months of preauricular swollen nodes that developed in the setting of severe bumps while I attempted to grow a beard. Lymphadenopathy has resolved. I also developed horizontal ridges in all 10 fingernails at the same time and that lasted 2 1/2 months, until the nails grew out. In the past 2 1/2 months, I have also developed brown arcs at the tip of my fingernails and toenails.

Not sure if this is the right forum, but I couldnt really find a specific place to post. I've had quite large "pitting" and horizontal ridges in both of my thumbnails for quite a few years now. No pain, swelling, or any other issues, just the cosmetic appearance that bothers me. I'm a healthy person with no underlying medical issues that I am aware of and blood pressure is normal (I read that blood pressure issues could cause this).

hi, i wanted to get your insight on this. I have noticed an horizontal straight parallel depression across my thumbnail. like a little valley. but straight. It is directly in the middle of my nail. I have seen many things on the internet about this, but was wanting to see what u thought. I have been pretty stressed lately. Another question is, if its directly in the middle, do you know when approximately this could of happened to my nail?

What causes ridges in fingernails? Does the presence of ridges indicate a lack of something in the diet?

What did your fingernail look like that made them a "dead giveaway"? Also, what enzymes do you take to aid digestion? Thanks!

See, in late May I noticed small/single horizontal ridges (elevations) on all 10 fingernails. They are fading now and advancing upwards with nail growth. I have no acute symptoms now. I read that these horizontal ridges are concerning and represent past serious systemic illnesses. In my case the illness in March comes to mind. I also had a lot of personal stress in March and April. I am worried that what I experienced in March was acute HIV. Please help me with your answer.
