A member asked:
Ridges on fingernails indicate what? i have vertical ridges on my fingernails and horizonal ridges on my big toenail
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ridges on nails: The vertical ridges may be normal for you or a metabolic problem. The horizontal ridges are usually called "trauma lines" on the toenails and indicate changes in your nail growth pattern at the root level.
