What vitamin deficiency causes vertical lines in fingernails?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Our nails naturally develop slight vertical ridges as we age. However, severe and raised ridges can be a sign of iron deficiency anemia. Nutritional deficiencies, such as a lack of vitamin A, vitamin B, vitamin B12 or keratin can result in fingernail ridges. Hormonal changes can also cause ridges to appear.

View allI'm 18 and still don't have a mustache or beard. My face basically looks like a baby's, with no hair at all. Is there anything I can do to help encourage beard growth? It's kind of worrying me a bit.
One option you can consider is using Minoxidil solution. You can apply 2% Minoxidil solution on your face twice a day. Make sure to wash your face before applying and allow it to fully dry before applying the solution. Remember to be consistent with the application for best results. Additionally, maintaining a healthy diet and managing stress levels can also support hair growth.

I've been using Skinlite cream for about 6 months now, and I'm trying to stop, but every time I do, my face gets darker, so I've started again but only twice a week. The thing is, my face is still gradually getting darker. I'm not sure what to do. I gave Melaglow a try for fairer skin, but it didn't really work for me, so I stopped using it. Can you suggest something that would actually help brighten my skin? I've got a darker skin tone and would appreciate any advice.
That needs weaning off of Skinlite cream and using alternates,better to see Dermatologist for appropriate help

I've been dealing with a lot of acne lately, and my skin's gotten really oily. I've been using Clincitop cream, along with a Lotus tea tree face wash and Oriflame tea tree moisturizer. I'm really hoping to clear up these pimples and the marks they leave behind, plus I'd love to get rid of this oily skin. Could you please guide me on what to do?
