if they're vertical they could indicate poor general health, poor nutrient absorption, and the ridges may also indicate a kidney disorder.
if they're horizontal they can indicate severe stress (both psychological or physical). Person is also more vulnerable to arthritis.What cause's ridge's on your finger nails?
I read an article on WebMD that says that...
';An iron deficiency can cause the nail bed to be thin and concave and have raised ridges. ';
Here is a link to the full article...

Lots of good information there, for everyone really. Examine your nails people, they tell the story of your life and health somehow. Check it out.What cause's ridge's on your finger nails?
vitamin deficency or damage to the nail bed
Because of all the crap chemicals and medicines that we have ingested over the years, our body builds up immunities, even to our own hormones. Ridges on your finger nails are caused by your body building up an ammunity to your thyroid, or whatever chemicals it disperses through your body. Not a good thing. But I don't know how to fix it. I have them too. But not everyone does. It depends on your personal chemical makeup and how this reacts to the madmade chemicals that we ingest.
i dunno
lack of vitamins... maybe ';E';
Damage to the nail bed (where the nail starts, under the cuticle). I have one on my index finger from slamming my hand in a file cabinet.
It can mean you have a deficiency in your diet, or if you have worn artificial nails in the past, they are a big offender, they make the nail bed so weak, that buffing them is the only thing that will help them recover.
ditto
Damage to the nail bed (where the nail starts, under the cuticle).
I've heard illness, and stress are generally the cause.
Ridges or (corruguations) in nails occur when nail growth is uneven, usually because of illness or injury. Gentle buffing can minimize ridges. Try a Ridge Filler to help level the nail surface, making shallow ridges and other imperfections practically disappear while conditioning with Calcium and Pro-Vitamin B5.
Hope this helps! ~Bon

Advice on ridged nails?
I went to the doctor's today to have them look at my nails. They looked at the ridges and waves and ';pitty'; appearance of my nails and diagnosed it as a mild form of psoriasis. I found this weird because I have virtually no other sings of the condition. I've heard from a lot of people that it can be due to a specific vitamin deficiency or lack of calcium. They prescribed me a cream (for skin, oddly enough) that I am supposed to rub into my nails twice a day. Has anyone else had an experience like that this? Does anyone know how to get rid of this problem completely? I just don't feel like psoriasis is the cause...I only have the ridges on maybe four of my fingers and a couple of pits on a few others. It's kind of unsightly.Advice on ridged nails?
I had also experienced that . Its good mine was only on 1 finger and took me a month before it was cured.Apply Benzalkonium Cloride.You can buy it over the counter on any drug stores.Apply it during the night before going to bed.Good luck....Advice on ridged nails?
how old are u ? in most people who are genetically susceptable to them,ridging begins in the 40's.my mother got them at this time of her life,and still hasd ridged nails.she's 75.the dr told her that ridges come on in middle age for some people.

Ridged nails=HIV?
do ridged nails indicated a kidney problem or a deficiency in vitamin B? or perhaps something more serious like HIV? thanks!Ridged nails=HIV?
Likewise, I think the HIV is a bit extreme. You'd likely have more symptoms of other problems (fever, fatigue, diarrhea, recurrent illnesses) than just the nails.
Click on the link below to see some nail examples. Finding something that looks like what you're dealing with may help you in the right direction. Aside from that, please see your medical care provider.
All the best to you.Ridged nails=HIV?
Big jump from thinking you might have a vitamin deficiency to HIV.
Your mind doesn't go to HIV unless you lead a risky lifestyle.
I think you better go see your doctor and get a complete physical.
Could be lime disease. You can not really come up with a diganotsis just by having symptoms of ridged nails.

soak your hands in warm milk to soften it then soak them in lemon jice to get the color out
lamisil
Petroleum Jelly or Olay Quench Lotion work wonders on dry hands.
vitamins diet if that fails try increasing circulation in your hands, either threw exercise or check for blocked blood vessels
I am personally going through the same thing...and my problem is drinking enough water and keeping hydrated. Also, the things you eat make a difference. There are always more answers to this...but basically, keep up with yourself as if you were a plant. Sounds weird, but think about it...
If you see that they are also yellow, you may need to drink more water.
I know how you feel! My dermatologist recommends the Vitamin Biotin and keep lotion rubbed in them. It really worked for me!

malnourishment.
Vertical nail ridges, which extend from your cuticle to the tip of your nail, are fairly common and often become more numerous as you age. Vertical ridges in your nails are not a health concern. Although the exact cause of such ridging isn't known, heredity may play a role.
If your fingernails change color or develop horizontal ridges, see your doctor. These changes may indicate underlying health problems, such as respiratory disease, malnutrition or even heart attack.

Why are my nails ridged?
Hi. Are you talking about fingernails or toenails? Well either one can have a fungal infection but it is usually seen on the toenails and a fungal infection can do different things to your nail beds. Your best answer is of course see a Dr of podiatry that specializes in feet and nails. There is also many vitamins that our body needs but too much can do as much harm as too little so before you try the vitamins you should see a Dr and he/she can give you the correct diagnosis and the medications needed to cure this. It could be oral meds as well as topical meds used to treat this. It can be a time consuming task to completely cure this but in time if you follow the directions you will have good nails again. Go see a Dr for a definite diagnosis or try over the counter meds but they may not work and you will end up at the Dr anyway so i would start there. Good luck..Why are my nails ridged?
Probably a vitamin deficiency or a fungus.cream treatment

My finger nails have ridges in them?
i hear it is from a light state of malnutrition.
any way i can help this?
i take 30 vitammins every day, so i cant be lacking.My finger nails have ridges in them?
You are probably a drug userMy finger nails have ridges in them?
Everyone has some sort of ridge in their nails. You can get them buffed out or you can do it yourself.
It doesn't sound like you are dealing with malnutrition - however, vitamins are only supplements. Be sure to eat properly too. :-)
Some people just have have ridges, esp. if you nails are thicker than average (like mine are). You can file and buff them smooth or just leave it be.
That many vitamins a day can harm you. see a doctor.
Maybe you need a good manicure. ';Sand'; them, buff them, and polish them.
file with a nail file DO NOT cut the nails.
place a small piece of garlic into a clear nail polish and apply once a week by the time you notice your nails will be beautiful. The whole garlic thing is a lil stinky but worth it! Believe me My nails are natural and many people always ask to touch them because they look fake
Be sure you are taking 30 mg zinc daily. Nail problems are often due to zinc deficiency.
I have them too but I dont worry about it.
i have them to its not to bad cuz its not going to kill you but i also heard its cuz of to much led so just eat good and if it doesnt go away it really doesnt matter
maybe it depends which way the ridges are. vertical with your fingers are usually a sign of poor nutrition. if you have horizontal ridges it's usually from and injury to your fingers
30 vitamins a day??? hypervitaminosis much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
um, 30 vitamins a day....ewww, yuck!
There are lots of things that can cause your fingernails to do this, like over use of certain drugs (and probably vitamins too I would guess) or viruses or diseases...see a doctor.
it might be from not enough iron in ur diet cause i have them too and i have some thing where my body doesnt have enough iron so i have to have nore than normal ppl so that might be it nexxt time u go to the doctor point that out.
I heard it was a sign of a thyroid problem.
I notice I get this from When i tear my nail, maybe it could be from that...
.If you are taking that many vitamins you could be poisoning your body with them, I don't know if this could be causing the problem with your nails, but its dangerous to over do vitamins, so I'd cut them down right away if I was you.
File them with a nail file.
I see like a lot of kids at my school with tan skin that have them.
I used to have that problem, but then I went to a nail salon and they put a liquid on it and the ridges dissapeared after awhile.You should go to a nail salon too.

There are some natural remedies that are really useful if you have brittle nails/ hair. Just go to your local health food shop and ask there. Also there are some creams that really help. I find Vaseline Intensive Care for hands and nails really good, and its really inexpensive too... also check the type of soaps that you use- whether it be washing up liquid, hand soaps etc., this may also be adding to your problem. Try getting ones that contain moisturiser. Hope this helps =)
bite them
put your hands in a bowl filled with olive oil and rest them there for 5-10 minutes
I think they make a cream or something. You can get it at a pharmacy or wal-mart.
buy cream with more oil/fat than water in it.befor you go to bed,put the cream on your hands.aferwards you put gloves on and you`ll sleep with them.you have to it several times again.after 2 weeks you`ll see that your hand are getting better.

This could be a lack of the right vitamins or something really serious. Or you could have nail fungus. Go to a doctor and take care of it. A free clinic or health department in your town should be of major help if you are low on funds, like most of us. Don't assume the worst or take for granted the best.

What can I do about my ridged fingernails? Ridges go down my nails to the cuticles and they split and break!?
My cuticles look ragged even though I use handcream and my nails look short and all different sizes. I used to have nice long nails but can't get them to grow and they look horrible, especially in the winter. I've tried different nail strengthening polishes and I take the vitamins recommended for the condition.
Has anyone had this problem and sorted it out? I'd be really interested to know if you've used either a cream, polish, herbs or homeopathic remedy that has worked.
Thanx 4 your help. xWhat can I do about my ridged fingernails? Ridges go down my nails to the cuticles and they split and break!?
Nail Polish stops the oxygenation in the nail making them yellow, buff and polish naturally, maybe its and the lack of Iron in your diet, but thats a guess go to a diet doctor and find that one out.
To make them grow stronger eat Jelly (Jell-o if American) because of the gelatin it will help with the strength, also cut and file down (this helps to thicken and strengthen) for a while until your nails are back to how they one were!

It does sound like some form of vitamin deficiency but popping pills is not the answer food is the best way of providing vitamins change your diet to obtain the vitamins you need but the change wont be instant as nails grow about a millimetre a week so it could be four months before your nails are back to their former glory
ridges in your nails is often caused by deficiencies in vitamins and calcium.
Try inproving your diet and dont paint your nails unless its with a protector. Keep them short until the problem is solved. Long nails with ridges in them look awful so keep them shorter.
gentle buffing from cuticle to tip of nail should help

All nails have ridges. If you want to get rid of them, use a buffer.

I have the same problem and my sister told me to take a vitamin called Biotin. You could start by just taking a daily multivitamin though.
you need to take more vitamins. orr you could have low thyroid. but dont worry about it. talk to your parents. thety can help.
possibly a lack of calcium and/or zinc, eat some brazil nuts, and drink milk, or take a multivitamin, some crinkling is normal and can be aestheticaly fixed by having a manicure.
You are not eating a proper diet. They can go away if you start eating healthier. I get them on and off.

Nails on my hands? horizontal ridges?
i've got ridges on my right hand? on my nails?
not all of the 5 but on 1 of them its obvious and i think others are developing.
they're horizontal.
whats wrong?
i take dairy products regularly and im 16 as well?
i look after my nails tooNails on my hands? horizontal ridges?
There are many things that the fingernails can tell you, but only some markings are abnormal.
Pale nails, for example, may be a sign of anaemia, whereas blue nails could reflect heart or lung trouble, toxic chemical action on blood cells or congenital heart disease in infants. Distorted nails which have a thickened yellowish tinge may suggest a fungus infection, psoriasis, vitamin deficiency or hardening of the arteries. If the fingernails have clubbed, in other words very concave when you look at them from the side, this could suggest an abscess, chronic infection, cancer of the lung or chronic heart disease.
White lines and horizontal ridges, however, although in exceedingly rare cases can be due to arsenic poisoning, are almost certainly normal. The nails grow from the nail bed and in most people the growth across the nail bed is a little up and down, which results in a corrugated appearance. It's quite normal and not a sign of any disease process.Nails on my hands? horizontal ridges?
Everyone gets ridges in their nails. It's normal. A way to get rid of them is to buff them out. I dunno how true this is, but I heard it's a myth that lack of calcium contributes to this. Just buy a nail buffer in you don't already have one and just buff them out. I am not sure where you are located, but it may also have something to do with the change in weather. If you live in a dry climate, than it's possible they are just reacting to the dryness and the weather warming up. No moisture in the air.
me too. is this a bad thing?? ahh help! i didnt know!

i look after my nails tooNails on my hands? horizontal ridges?
There are many things that the fingernails can tell you, but only some markings are abnormal.
Pale nails, for example, may be a sign of anaemia, whereas blue nails could reflect heart or lung trouble, toxic chemical action on blood cells or congenital heart disease in infants. Distorted nails which have a thickened yellowish tinge may suggest a fungus infection, psoriasis, vitamin deficiency or hardening of the arteries. If the fingernails have clubbed, in other words very concave when you look at them from the side, this could suggest an abscess, chronic infection, cancer of the lung or chronic heart disease.
White lines and horizontal ridges, however, although in exceedingly rare cases can be due to arsenic poisoning, are almost certainly normal. The nails grow from the nail bed and in most people the growth across the nail bed is a little up and down, which results in a corrugated appearance. It's quite normal and not a sign of any disease process.Nails on my hands? horizontal ridges?
Everyone gets ridges in their nails. It's normal. A way to get rid of them is to buff them out. I dunno how true this is, but I heard it's a myth that lack of calcium contributes to this. Just buy a nail buffer in you don't already have one and just buff them out. I am not sure where you are located, but it may also have something to do with the change in weather. If you live in a dry climate, than it's possible they are just reacting to the dryness and the weather warming up. No moisture in the air.
me too. is this a bad thing?? ahh help! i didnt know!
Horizontal ridges on my thumb nails...?
I have ridges (horizontal/side to side) on my thumb nails so they're always bumpy. They've grown like that ever since college. I don't remember them being like that before then.
Why do some people have them and some people don't?
How do I get rid of them?Horizontal ridges on my thumb nails...?
I saw your question and realized I have the SAME thing on all my fingernails, so I decided to google it. I thought it was nothing but look what I found.
Nail textures: Vertical ridges that appear on the nail can indicate disorders as simple as iron deficiency, poor absorption of vitamins and nutrients, overall poor health or they could indicate something as serious as kidney trouble. (So, you see why consulting your physician is so important.) These vertical ridges, as well as bumpy nails, can also suggest that one is prone to developing arthritis. Ridges running horizontally across the nail can indicate physical or mental stress.
Uhoh. =(Horizontal ridges on my thumb nails...?
get your thyroid checked. I have them too, I went to my Dr. and I asked them what the ridges were from, he said that I could be hypothyroid, he drew a thyroid panel and I was hypothyroid. It is one of the symptoms.

dont bite your nails, and drink more calciumRidges on my nails !! ?? ?
my mom has the same thing
it means that you just have thin nails
dont worry about it, a lot of people have thin nails like yours with ridges
try putting on a clear coat of nail polish, it thickens them and gets rid
of some of the ridges
dont worry i hate them too, but im pretty sure its because you dont get enough calcium.

Ridges on my nails..?
I have ridges on my nails, deepish, as in i can feel the bumps. They run long ways from my cuticles to the tips of my nails. Any ideas on what they are and how i get rid of them?
Thanks a lot xRidges on my nails..?
You Can Buff The Ridges Off,
Just Get A Buffer From Superdrug Or Boots,
Or Walmart If Your In The USARidges on my nails..?
If you've worn artificial or acrylic nails for long periods of time, then that could be one of the causes. It could also be vitamin deficiency. To treat them, get a nail block (4-sided buffer), cuticle oil, and a nail strengthener. Sally Hansen products are inexpensive, nice quality, and can be found at any drugstore. To prevent this in the future, you should take multi-vitamins daily. Also, if it's okay with you, don't wear fake nails any more. The nail strengthener should make your real nails healthy enough to grow long and strong.
You need a special nail file
they usually have about 4 different surfaces on them- ones for filing like normal, one gets rid of ridges and the other two buff the nails, and they're really cheap too, if you go to any nail sections in shops I'm sure they'll have them, you only need to use the ridge smoothing section once a month though
Weak, brittle or ridged nails are usually caused by a poor diet. you need to reassess your diet or speak to a doctor to check your not anemic or lacking in something. MAke sure you eat healthly, and drink plenty. Keep them short until you see an improvement, and buy a good nail conditioner to keep them strong.
i have those too. they are so annoying. but i don't think there is a way to get rid of them. just wear clear nail polish because when i do the ridges seem to be less feel able because the nail polish fills them.
I also have them.... Besides multivitamins and no more acrylic nails :-( , I now buff and moisturize them before applying clear polish.
rub oil into the cuticle to soft the nail. you can get all sort s of creams but the best old fashioned way is oil- even cookign oil.
I have these. I've been told that it's because I don't eat enough iron or something.cream treatment
