fingernail ridges what causes

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.

Ever since I can remember, on my thumbnail and big-toe nail, there has been a strange deterioration. It looks like a series of grooves in the center of the nail (see attached pictures). My fingernails aren't weak or brittle and they're not really falling off or anything. I don't think it's anything serious, but I've always been curious what it is. If anybody could help at all, that would be great.

I have read that the fingernail ridges could be due to malabsorption. That coupled with the fatty stool makes me think my liver isn't working properly and digesting the fat as it should. I have weighed the same amount since I was 16 years old, and only gained around 20 lbs when I was pregnant. During my pregnancy, I had Intreheptic Cholestasis of Pregnancy, which is a rare liver disorder that occurs only during pregnancy, but it went away after I gave birth.

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.

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

Also I noticed yesterday one canker sore on a single tonsil which cause difficult swallowing which cause a lymph node right under Jaw to be painful.

They are the same color as nails, not very deep but definitely noticable. These ridges are especially noticable on the bed of my thumbs and also on the toenails of the big toes. Other fingernails/toenails don't seem to have ridges, maybe just a few small ridges on index finger nails.

While performing a self exam about a month ago I noticed ridges on the lining of my vaginal walls. This sounds strange but when I sort of push out the ridges fully come out of my vagina and block the vaginal hole. I also noticed that there seems to be a connecting bump directly under my urethra. I am sexually active but I haven't experienced any pain, itching or noticed anything abnormal down there other than occasional odor.

ve had this happen to me more than once) Any serious crunching to the nail on your finger will cause this to happen - the bruising underneath the nail is what causes it to fall off, and the bump in the middle of where the nail used to be is actually the new fingernail growing back.

At the top of the fingernail, where it grows out fron the finger, is a small semi-circle of white then the rest of the finger nail is pinkish. Prior to moving to where I now live my nails all had this little area now 3 years later only my thumbs do. Can anyone tell me if this is something to be concerned about? Thanks for any help!!

It is an abnormal shape of the fingernail. The nail has raised ridges and is thin and curved inward. This disorder is associated with iron deficiency anemia. The other possibility which can present with nail pitting as well thick, white, silvery, or red patches of skin is psoriasis. It is thought that psoriasis occurs when the immune system overreacts, causing inflammation and flaking of skin. My sincere advice is to consult a dermatologist and get these two possibilities probed.

I have two lumps that run perpendicular across the left side of my penis. The appear to be swollen corpora cavernosa chambers/tissues. Basically, they are tender spots in my erection and can easily be noticed. They are sore after ejaculation. When I am not erect, they are still tender to the touch and sometimes hurt after urination too. My doc said it probably wasn't Peyronie Disease. However, I have felt pinched in the side of my penis before during sex.

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?

This is common among those with COPD and cardiac problems. Which you don't seem to have.The etiology seems to be ischemia - that is a lack of circulating oxygen over a long period of time. But there may, in fact be other causes. The next time you have a physical suggest an arterial blood gas, which would be definitive.

Good morning... how is everyone this morning? I hope everyone remembered to turn their clocks back an hour this morning (wherever Daylight Saving Time is practiced). It's a bright sunny day, here, after a couple of days of dark, dreary rain, but it's definitely chillied off and beginning to feel like winter. Of course, it's not as cold here as some other areas, but we're not used to being this cold so early.
