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 trying to figure out when it's best to use this cream and what the benefits are. I'm also wondering if it's okay to use it during the summer months. Could you give me some advice?
It would be helpful if you could provide the name of the cream you are referring to, so I can give you more specific information about its uses and benefits. Additionally, whether a cream can be used in summer depends on its ingredients and formulation. Some creams may be too heavy or occlusive for hot and humid weather, while others may be specifically designed for summer use.

I'm dealing with this persistent fungal infection around my private parts for the past three months, and I'm really concerned it's not going away. I suspect I might also have balanitis because there's intense itching and it's becoming difficult to move the foreskin comfortably. Could you guide me on what steps I should take and which type of doctor I should see about this?

I'm really struggling with these freckles and DPNS on my face. Is laser treatment the only way to get rid of them? And if it is, how much would it cost? Also, I'm looking for a good skin clinic in Bangalore. Any recommendations?
Laser treatment isn't the only option for removing freckles and dark patches (DPNs) on the face, but it's a popular choice. Other treatments include chemical peels and skin lightening treatments. The cost of laser treatment in Bangalore can range from 4,000 to 14,500 per session. For chemical peels, it can cost between 2,950 to 8,500.
