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.

I'm trying to figure out if kojic acid cream is actually effective, and I'm also considering melaglow cream. I'm feeling a bit confused between these two options. Could you help clarify which one might be better?
Kojic acid cream is commonly used to lighten skin discoloration such as dark spots, age spots, and melasma. It works by inhibiting the production of melanin in the skin. You can try using Kojic acid cream twice daily on the affected areas for best results. Melaglow cream is also used to lighten dark spots and improve overall skin tone. It contains a combination of glycolic acid, arbutin, and niacinamide which help in reducing pigmentation and brightening the skin. You can apply Melaglow cream once daily at night on the affected areas. Both creams can be effective, but it's important to use them consistently and as directed for optimal results. Remember to use sunscreen during the day while using these creams to protect your skin from further damage.
