Have you had your Vitamin D level tested, mine was very low, I've been on a prescribed high dose for several months and my nails at least have improved. x

Hi Amethyst69 :)

There a a number of reason why your nails are splitting and have ridges and a usually it is because of some type of vitamin deficiency. I'm not a medical professional so I cannot tell you why your nails are like the way they are only give some friendly advice :)

As it has already been suggested above going to your GP to discuss this problem is the best way to deal with it. You should be given a blood test to check your vitamin levels, full blood count etc.

I wish you wellness and I hope that you find your answers and treatments soon.

Fluffies and smiles for you :)

Oh my word, I have a veritable range of mountains on my nails, and thought it was just anno domini creeping on apace, maybe I need to see the lovely Barry.........such a shame to have to see the doctor 💘💘😜

As the others have said, it could be a vitamin deficiency that needs checking out. I want to wish you all the best of luck.

Good luck

Hi,

I would suggest you have your thyroid checked - I had the same problem, but once I was on medication my nails improved again.

Hugs,

It could very well be your vitamins but just a thought. Have you had shellac at all cause that's what it did to mums nails. They're treating them now and she had it ages ago.

Not what you're looking for?
