A member asked:
Most of my nails have vertical lines on them. what can cause this?.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mostly genetics: Vertical are usually due to your personal make-up, although potentially chronic vitamin deficiency could contribute. A periodic multivitamin would not hurt, but more likely only an occasional manicure will "cure" the prolem.
