Some people may notice nail changes due to harmless causes like aging or vitamin deficiencies. Nutritional support — including biotin, zinc, and iron — can sometimes reverse minor nail issues. However, persistent or sudden changes should always be medically evaluated.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Can nail polish or acrylics mask symptoms?
A: Yes. Prolonged use of nail polish or artificial nails can hide changes and even cause damage. It’s good practice to go polish-free periodically for observation.
Q: How often should I check my nails?
A: A monthly check is usually sufficient unless you notice specific symptoms like pain, discoloration, or changes in growth.
Q: Should I be worried about vertical ridges in nails?
A: Not necessarily. Vertical ridges are common with aging and usually harmless unless accompanied by other symptoms.
