Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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.

Avatar f tn Having no moons on the fingers is also a sign. The ridges and cold feet are the only thyroid symptoms I still have, though the ridges aren't as bad as bfore.

Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn 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!
Avatar f tn 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).
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar n tn 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).
Avatar n tn 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?

Avatar n tn 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.
