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've been traveling a lot for work lately and I've started getting these pesky blackheads on my nose. I heard somewhere that toothpaste might work to get rid of them, but I'm not sure if that's actually true or if it's safe. Could you tell me if using toothpaste is a good idea for treating blackheads, and if so, how should I use it?

I've been dealing with these ringworms on my inner thighs, and they're really starting to bother me. They've been itching a lot, but since I started using itch guard a couple of days ago, that's gotten a bit better. But I'm worried because the skin's getting darker, and the ringworms seem to be spreading. Could you help me figure out what to do about this?

I've been dealing with these red bumps and itching along the sides of my waist for over a year now. The doctor gave me some medicine to take and told me to use Tenovate cream until it cleared up. But as soon as I stop using the cream, the problem comes back within just a couple of days. It's leaving dark spots and making my waist look kind of ugly. It's not about hygieneI shower daily, even twice sometimes. My clothes are clean, though I do wear some tight clothing from time to time. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
