ridges in fingernails

[Guest guest]

Coco and group,

For a long time I had split nails and splits in the skin

surrounding the nails. Once I was diagnosed with an extremely low

Ferritin level and was on iron replacement for awhile this cleared up. I

take Vit. C along with the iron and this could be the " helper " also. I

have an absorption problem due to a couple of drastic stomach surgeries

so I would bet that is a factor. Another thought...I had two nails with

" dips " in them, like a bumpy road and my husband submitted his opinion

of nail fungus. He'd had the same appearance with toenails. Sure enough,

when I used an over the counter anti fungal, it went away.
