The Cause Of Vertical Ridges on Your Nails
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 лип 2024
- Here are the potential causes of vertical, or longitudinal, ridges on your nails. Nails are composed of a hardened structure called keratin, and take several months to grow. Any process that interrupts the growth will result in changes to the nail appearance, often times resulting in ridges.
In this video, we discuss the causes of vertical nail ridges including aging, nutritional deficiencies, trauma, underlying medical conditions, environmental exposures, and more.
By finding the cause of your ridges, you can help restore your nails to their normal appearance.

I got ridges on my nails as I got older. Nothing to worry about. I am a healthy 80 year old
I’ve had raised ridges on my thumb nails for several years that is associated with Hashimoto’s Thyroid disease ( which I have ). I started taking Selenium and Zinc just recently. My nails ( in a matter of 2 weeks ) have returned to healthy looking nails again. AMAZING transformation.
The ridges I had for over 30 years turn out to be a B12 deficiency that was never treated and I ended up developing pernicious anemia..a horrible disease 😢
Dr's always said all my symptoms were in my head
Wow I bet you had other symptoms of low b12 too! That’s a long time to figure out what was going on, hope you are feeling better
@DoctorMikeDiatte yes plenty of other symptoms..chronic fatigue, smooth sore red tongue, blurred vision, black outs, nose bleeds, migraine, walking into walls, brain fog, slurred speech etc..
And they still missed it.
Thought I had MS , Dementia etc..
Years of tests and the damage to my central nervous system was already a lost cause..
Now im left with left leg and arm drop ( like a stroke) muscle wasting in legs and arms.
And all they had to do was test for my " active B12 "
I have to recieve B12 every month now, for life.
Thanks for getting back
Wish you well.
Helen, I also had undiagnosed pernicious anemia for decades. Very low energy, upper body wasting, brain fog, blurred vision, heart damage, paleness. Started getting numbness and pins and needles in my hands before a Dr. of Chinease Medicine found it in blood tests, which was the first thing she had me do. She put me on liquid methylcobalamin B12 with adenosyl in it and iron pills and vit. C. They say people of northern European descent, especially Irish , Scottish and English have it in their genes. Ive got a good amount of Irish and a little Scottish in me. So much for the luck of the Irish.
I hear you loud and clear Helen...same here, after treatment I'm a lot better it's definitely not in your head or mine...so sorry you had a Dr. that was so
Behind the times....stay well friend.
ThankYou! Best Advise on ridges in nails I've seen many and none as informative as yours😘
I've had deep ridges on my nails ever since I can remember. It's something that runs iny family. For us, it's nothing to worry about.
I started applying vase line on my nails after every kitchen work completed and my nail quality improved. I also eat curd each day for my b12 as I am lacto vegetarian, and try to eat more greens. It was so helpful, especially the auto immune condition like Hashimoto thyroiditis that makes iron absorption difficult. Since I switched to eating more berries in my food platter, things have stabilised remarkably. Thabk you.
Quite thorough for possibilities. Like they said, must consider other symptoms too.
Thank you for the video. Blessings to you.
Very thorough.. Thank you
thank you very much for giving important information
I had spoon shaped nails for a long time and it was cured when i was diagnosed with low vitamin D levels and prescribed vit D. Nails grew back normal after 3 weeks of vit D supplementation.
I’m 67, I’ve done the fake nails,glue, smothering my nails to the point they couldn’t breathe. Our nails need moisture, oils, and yes I have ridges. It took 2 months of constant moisture application and wearing gloves for dishes, what an improvement. I also put gold bond under my nails. Don’t try to bend your nails or use them as tools. I’ll use nail polish for special accusations only. ( I have very thin nails)
accusations? occasion 😅
Thanks for this information and explanation.
Thank you so much for this video 😊❤ pay attention to your whole body and take care of yourself ❤😊gracias
Thank you 🙏
Good info. Thanks
I since I was a child sufferd from anaemia periodically, years later I had my gall removed which increases nutritional problems leading to daily intake of Vitimine suplements ,then found out my thyroid was slightly low function but nothing much can be done about it, so my nails have always been brittle, ridged badly and so it gets worse as I get older.Never had good nails and so I just keep them short neet and just look after my hands ,the hair is thining and brittle also so its a fight just to look ok.....but it appears its stacked against me.
Thanks 👍

Word brilliant getting cheaper by the minute . UA-cam university students evaluating . Semi-educated, lazy couch potatoes gazing at cheap videos , Instead of visiting a doctor
Deficiency in iron develops vertical ridges, fatigue, anemia
Celiac causes malabsorbtion of micronutrients, minerals and essential fats
Mine was low iron! Had to go to ER to get a blood transfusion.
Thanks for your explanation ,very informative.
I've got ridges on my bank wallet, might it be bank note deficiency..?

The cause of the ridges are very clear. They are saying that if u have the ridges, you need to see your doctor to determine which one is your problem.
I've got ridges on me nails,I've been a nail biter all my life. I know I've got many minor health problems that the ridges could be part of,if you mention these to a GP they'll see it as no harm.
THANKS YOU GOODNESS 🌟 DAPHNE COTTON ALWAYS 💜
You are so welcome!
Que es el selenios en donde se compra yo también tengo las uñas con estrías
My finger nails are MUCH worse than my toenails. Only difference in the negative is that I get my hands wet massively more times. I noticed my nails begin to flake and crack seven years ago when I started looking after Mum, including loads more washing of ALL types. THERE'S YOUR ANSWER. I note some posts below advocating wearing rubber gloves and that's where I'm going.
Hypo or under active thyroid causes vertical ridges and splitting peeling brittle nails
You would of thought my endocrinologist would have told me that
I have hyperactive thyroid and nail ridges and splitting
Podrían poner subtitulos por favor 👍
Lots of pld people have it
For years I have had the ridges and I have no moon-shapes (lunula) at all on any nails which I have thought was always strange. I'm taking vitamins and even started eating organic seaweed sheets. ( Has lots of minerals/vitamins ) I haven't noticed anything different though.
In my case I have digestive issues & even tho' I take vitamins nothing changes because they're not really being absorbed.
Quite
No moons are normal as we age, I only see moons on my thumbs. Your ok
@@tarottime3219are you a doctor 😮😅
@@tarottime3219 thanks for sharing
I have low stomach acid and I understand that it can be from that
How do you correct Deep vertical ridges that split and peel in layers ?
Is it a lack of EFA's in the diet or dehydration ?
I hope he respects you and replies to your question.

I hate these AI robotic voice videos. I can’t watch it to the end!
Yep I actually dislike them as well, I am done with those for sure
@@DoctorMikeDiatteThank you!
Me too really off putting.
QUESTION: I'VE DEVELOPED A CRACK IN THE MIDDLE OF MY THUMB NAIL. I DIDN'T HURT IT. THE NAIL THAT GROWS OUT HAS A CRACK AND I MUST CONSTANTLY KEEP IT TRIMMED BACK TO PREVENT IT GETTING SNAGGED ON SOMETHING. WHAT WOULD CAUSE THIS. I DO HAVE RA. THANKS
I have this too and also RA
I have Hemochromatosis so I have to watch my Iron intake and vitamin D
It would be nice if we didn't have to worry sbout our toe nalis growing
Hi, my nails have ridges that have gotten so bad that they r actually becoming square, my little finger has a 90 degree square angle and it’s happening on a lot on my other nails, how can I fix this, thanks
You need to see your healthcare provider
@@AEvans36977 ok thank u
My right hand nails have strunk,i have ridges on my nails.@@sarahgreen8409
How about years of the drill from artificial nail application at the nail shop.😢
A lot of information 😮.
I have autoimmune THYROIDITIS 😢.
Both spectrum 🤔 and you do have be on thyroxine forever 😢.
Vit B, had treatment.
I have lupus/myopathy 😱.
They cause nail problems too.
Some bruising, and also redness under nail bed.
Potassium, can cause these issues too.
Most likely because I was a baby.
I lost my little toe nail, from a bottie, the wool caught around my little toe, never been a problem though.🌺
Can chemotherapy infusion cause the ridges. I'm going through chemo and I developed those ridges, but, I've been biting my nails since I got teeth 😁. Help 😨😭
Also me
I only have nail ridges on my thumb nail on my left hand. They are very noticeable. I am 71 years old and anemic. In fact I go for my last infusion this Friday. I usually have to get them twice a year that last once a week for three weeks. I have no internal bleeding. No one knows why I am this way.
I have the same thing. please explain your infusion & what's in them and do they help.
Unfortunately the conventional medical community is unaware of this and dismiss you when bring it up.
I only have ridges in my thumbs. Other nails are smooth
@ddtuss2585: Only my left-hand ring finger has ridges. The rest are beautiful, very hard, and smooth. Go figure! I'd like to know why.
I onlyhave 6 matrixes! 🤣
I agree no definitive answers.
Impossible to give a definitive answer for thousands of people watching a video 😁 the point is there are multiple possible causes, getting checked out / having bloodwork done can help you figure it out!
I think it's coffee intake that provokes intestinal bleeding and creates iron deficiency
I haven’t heard that one before but interested to learn more
I would like to learn more of your discovery on the coffee?
Coffee depletes iron if drank with meals.
I've read up on this and because caffeine is acidic it actually helps with B12 absobsion
When I was 4 my sister slammed the car door on my thumb. I screamed, and, my mom started yelling & hitting my sister. It was bleeding and hurt. My nail came off completely and when it grew back there were vertical ridges. When my nails grow out they are always splitting which hurt if I bump the nail into things. So I have to keep them trimmed. Forget about trying to have nice manicured nails.
There are always fake ones!
@@ms.poopsie7123 I cannot use the fake nails. My real nail has ridges in it and the fake nails irritate my nails. When I take the fake ones off, it rips the ridges open. Painful. Alas, no pretty nails for me.
I had a similar incident 60 years ago, badly damaging my finger. But that finger has a good excuse for the nail growing out in layers. When it reaches a certain length, it breaks off. I've seen my dermatologist about vertical ridges on my other nails, and she said it was just aging.
@@Gertyutz LOL! That's fun to hear I bet. So far it's only been my slammed door thumb that has ridges!
Probably have a damaged matrix in the nail that was slammed by the car door.
It could be this or a million things
🤔
It ‘may’ be this, or it ‘may’ be that or ‘may’ be something else. In effect, you have no definitive causes at all!
The first thing he said was...there are MANY causes.
every one of us - as unique as our fingerprints - has the responsibility to find which one is true for our own case... we are not robots - luckily :) and science always uses "may" too, because it can always be proven wrong through a new scientific discovery...
Geez your so negative (and ridiculous), if you don’t want to know what various causes it could be, don’t watch the video haha.
Any single sign or symptom will have a ton of possible causes, haha

Vertical ridges showed stage one lung Cancer for me!
This is also caused by having hemorrhoids
I went to the doctors because my finger is all my middle finger on the right hand was all swollen and the skin was coming back on the cuticle and I went to the hospital and they said the lady doctor said it was a blocked cuticle. Didn’t tell me how to treat it, but I treated it with that stuff what you keep clean your hands with all the time when we had Covid, but what it’s called, but you know what I mean, that’s the only hands on that finger all the time, and it healed it after a while, but then the doctor said he’s got any more trouble at 32 and another doctor I went to another Doctor Who is an Indian doctor and he said that to you or are you’ve got arthritis I said yes and I showed the papers which which a hospital gave me paper to tell me of arthritis and he said that you need that finger near the word for it, but it means take the bones out each side and I won’t be able to bend it properly well and he said if you’ve got pain I’ll do it when I get saying, I’ve got no pain I took a picture of a me a hand and he said in between your joints are in between a finger you’ve got no fluid and in between and I seen this happened but I didn’t believe it there’s any might be right, but from that day till this day said he’s an operation on your finger is a doctor told me to block cuticle. Will it healed of adobo problem with my finger except it is slightly swollen with that’s that’s the arthritis fair enough I’ve got a pain in the fingers, I can use my fingers just as normal as you can’t at the moment so that’s always trust the doctors telling you because my instinct told me it was a first one what she said it was, it was a block cuticle is swollen, and then I will fluid coming out at the finger on the top of the finger. It’s rolled up like a balloon are at but I know that but it got burgers all the liquid come out did it again and again and then it stopped that are treated. It myself went to the hospital like I have explained to you And then it cleared up at self and even if the doctors secretary rang me up to are you going to have your finger done? I said no, but I’ve got no pain. It was about to take the bones out your fingers unnecessary and I do is block cuticle like she said because it cleared up and I’ve had no pain with it okay with sore on top where the queue to go and give it to the joint itself wasn’t give me any any problems that are still family fingers and do bricked up new number I could do it so I know if it was okay I just thought I thought is to yourself people wise to somebody want to do an operation pop in for money I don’t know I know he gets paid he might get extra because he’s doing is about to be outside finger about the way I work for the health service 33 years service I wasn’t qualified but I kind of knowledge to know a little bit. Thank you.
I have vertical ridges along with think vertical black line. What does that mean?.
Get checked asap for cancer. Black lines could be cancer!
I've had both ridges and the black lines.Insuline resistance, candida,leaky gut,etc.the black lines always tell me my immune response needs a bump.Favorites for years are echinecea and golden seal for a week or two and my new best friend is black seed oil.
@@Denise-tt1hq Tumeric tea +ginger ==> activates immune systen and all body functions. 1 teaspoon x 1 cup morning on empty stomach +1 cup afternoon 6-7 pm.
Mine was a dead give away before my heart attact.
B.S...apply Vaseline to the nails every night Ridges disappear

My apologies , But that was 11 minutes of wasted time .
He keeps saying contact your medical provider.what a joke,it takes 3 to 6 months to get an appointment with a medical person.by then you have figured out why.be your own m3dical provider...

Dragged out, tedious waste of time for clicks.
Stop fileing nails backward...you are going against the grain!
Its too bad you chose an AI voice. I bet you probably had good info, but the automated voice is too annoying to listen to. It screams that you don't care enough about your listeners to actually take the time and talk with us.
Thanks for the feedback! I switched to using my own voice a few weeks back and like it much better than the AI voice
My goodness!
