Learning the Reasons Behind Nail Lines

Vitamin B12:
Not having sufficient vitamin B12 can cause your nails to change color and texture.

Having too little iron in your body can lead to vertical lines on your nails and nails that appear spoon-shaped.

Dehydration occurs when your body loses a lot of water.

Not drinking enough water can affect your entire body, including your nails. If you don’t drink enough water, your nails may become weak and develop lines. Drinking enough water is important to keep your nails and skin healthy.

Damage to a fingernail.

Getting hurt or always biting your nails can cause lines to appear on them. These injuries can damage the skin beneath the nail and impact the way the nail grows.

Certain skin conditions, such as psoriasis or eczema, can cause nail changes such as ridges, particularly around the cuticles or the skin close to the nail.
