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 noticing these random itchy swellings all over my body, like they can pop up anywhere from my head to my legs, even my lips sometimes. It got me thinking if it might have something to do with eating oily foods, because that's when it seems to happen more. I've been taking cetirizine or other antiallergics to make the swelling go away, but I'm a bit worried and trying to figure out what could be causing this. Could it really be linked to my diet, or is there something else going on here?
You can take it daily to help manage and prevent these allergic reactions. Additionally, try to identify and avoid the specific oily foods that may be causing these reactions.

I'm really struggling with jock itching and I'm not sure what to do about it. I looked it up online and it seems like that's definitely what it is. Any advice on how to treat or relieve it would be really appreciated.
That could be fungal infection which needs both oral and topical antifungal medications and personal hygiene is more important for such condition.

I'm dealing with a lot of hair fall here in Bangalore and I'm wondering if it's because of the hard water. Should I try using alum or fitkari in the water before I wash my hair? Also, I came across something called Mintop Pro and I'm curious if it's helpful. Are there any side effects I should know about? Would it be a good idea to start using Mintop Pro?
don't use for long time
