How to get rid of these lines or ridges going up an down on my nails?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
May or may not: be able to. Vertical nail ridges can result from differing cell turnover in the nail which can occur with aging. It is a common occurrence. Vertical ridges with nails that are brittle or splitting may be related to lichen planus, anemia or hypothyroidism. Changes in color or horizontal ridges may be related to possible medical problems. Your dermatologist can help to determine cause.
