Vertical Ridges on Fingernails: Causes & When to See a Doctor


Question
My husband has developed vertical bumpy ridges on his thumb nails. He thinks it's symptomatic of a disease. Have you ever heard of anything like this? If so, is it the sign of a serious medical condition?

Answer
hi carolyn
have these ridges suddenly appeared say, within a few months?
if so, it is best for him to check this out with his doctor.
if they have gradually developed over the yrs, the chances are it is age, this happens.
let me know how he gets on
