Nail Ridges Cause
What is it?
The cause of nail ridges can be many. Nail ridges are small lines running vertically on the nail. They can be deeper, with depressions or grooves on the nail, or slight bumps that typically run vertically. They can be caused by many reasons but most commonly are caused by age. However, they could also be due to improper nail care or injury. They can also be caused by certain illnesses. So, it important to have it checked out by your physician it if its getting worse and you are not an older person.
An additional cause of nail ridges could be due to a mineral/vitamin deficiency. Pay attention to changes in colour, severity, and deepness of the grooves. Also, watch for any inflammation around the root of the nail, or changes in the skin around the nail.
Treatment
During a manicure, we buff out the top of the surface of the nail making it as smooth as possible. After, we apply a nice base coat with a gel polish application to give it strength if it has become brittle.
After care: hand lotion. No buffing at home if you get regular manicures.
