A member asked:
As part of maturing my finger nails peel split and have ridges. will they ever go back to normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: Ridges on nails become more common as people age but may indicate nutrient deficiencies- see http://www.Md-health.Com/fingernail-ridges.Html split nails may improve with silica and biotin.
