A member asked:
In the last couple of months i have developed a ridge in one fingernail. i have no other ridges, and have not injured any nail. could it be vitamins?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Should not: Nail ridging due to thyroid or other problems shouldn't be limited to one nail. Show it to your doctor during your next check up though.
