Avatar m tn I have lines on my nails that are ugly and I saw drops in a magizine for it once but when I went to order them I could'nt find the artical, and both my parents have it and it killed a foot fungus that tried to infect me after 1 year??????
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 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 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 f tn 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.
Avatar f tn Itchy raised ridges will appear over my body (arms and back mostly). They come and go randomly with seemingly no reason at all. My sister also suffers from these ridges and we don't know what they are. Any help?
Avatar f tn 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.
691935 tn?1421027090 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.
Avatar m tn For the past year I have had ridged lines going horizontally across both of my big toenails. At first I thought nothing of it but I am now wondering if it could be something serious. My other toenails are fine and so are my fingernails so I am unsure if it is beaus nails or not? Please help!
Avatar f tn This is oftem caused by getting too much Calcium i have had this too and I realized it was because i was getting too much calcium if you are taking a Calcium supplement and eating alot of dairy you may be over doing it just some advice
Avatar f tn 3- Two days ago I noticed ridges on 2 fingernails while the rest of nails have vertical lines without ridges. Treatment: 1-I went to ENT after my 6 weeks symptoms and he gave me gargle which did not work. 2-After 52 days of last exposure I went to another ENT specialistand I told him about my sexual exposure so he requested Sypillis and anti Hiv tests besides throat swap culture. 3- Throat swap culture shows normal streptococcus bacteria and ENT told me the result is fine.
Avatar n tn What did your fingernail look like that made them a "dead giveaway"? Also, what enzymes do you take to aid digestion? Thanks!
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 which would make since since these ridges (raised lines) travel the entire sides of my tongue, but stop at the tip... and this would also explain the same similar lines running down the boarders of my cheeks... From what I have read these symptoms can result from tongue thrusting and sucking my tongue sides and cheeks... since these ridges are always at their worst when i wake up and seem to get better throughout the day I may be doing this while I sleep or am not thinking about it...
Avatar f tn Does anyone know what could cause these brown lines at the cuticle and on the actual hand? Person has athletes foot, jock itch, and Versicolor. Also suffers from severe abdominal cramping and bloating frequently. based on my research online, the only instances I can find a brown lines on the hands and fingernails occurred in people who have parasitic infections. After contact, I am now getting the brown lines in (not under) my fingernails without injury. Also peeling between the fingers.
Avatar m tn Since a couple of years I have deep ridges on the top of my head. And I have the feeling they are getting worse and worse. I went to the dermatologist, the plastic surgeon and my own doctor. None of them know what it is or how to threat it... The only thing the dermatologist thought was possible is: Cutis verticis gyrata But I read many posts on the internet about it and that doesn't seem to be the case.
Avatar m tn They are smooth, flesh coloured, finger like and occur in lines rather than clusters - although the smallest of which is slightly lighter in colour. The growths are situated at each side of my clitoris - basically where the labia minora meets the clitoris - and vary in size. I haven't noticed them anywhere else, only on the 'ridges' of the labia minora.

Over the past few years I have noticed they break all of the time and they have longitudinal ridges in them that would start to split and that would make the nail break on either side of the ridge. I had to keep them real short so they would not get weird and split. I started triple med treatment Sept. 26th. I have done 24 weeks.
Avatar f tn 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.
