that’s braille for “you should see the look on your face”
Make sure you tell your doctor. Sometimes ridges can be caused by underlying health issues.
Please? Post this on some anti vax Q conspiracist website. They will lose their fucking minds over this. Say it’s happened since the 5G network went online…Report back with the wildest theory.
You and ruffles have something in common
I get something like that related to my psoriasis
I have ridges and psoriasis. My psoriasis turned into psoriatic arthritis and my skin issues mainly gone now. Im 63. Skin issues started at 36.
If I’m not mistaken this is known as nail pitting? Common for people with psoriasis
while this can be a sign of a nutrient deficiency (mention to your primary, get your blood work done as normal), this in general is very common. so common in fact that this is why nail polish companies make smoothing base coats.
Run your thumb under a record player needle and hear what music comes out

I ahve the same, for me it’s luckily just hereditary, got it from my mom.
Can potentially be a result of other underlying conditions doe.
Could just be psoriasis. Get checked out by a medical professional OP. Could be something affecting your immune system.
Mine too, both of my thumbs actually. It’s usually caused by nail bed trauma (in my case psoriasis) and is usually nothing to worry about just weird. Asking your GP never hurts though.
Medscape just had an article on this. For “beads that drop down nail like wax” the differentials were B vitamin deficiencies (are you vegetarian or celiac or gastric bypass?), diabetes, thyroid disorders, and Addison’s disease.
I’d go in for lab work and ask for A1C, TSH to free T4, morning serum cortisol, and b vitamin levels.
I have those exact same ridges. I thought it was normal, since I’ve had them forever. Kind of surprised at the lack of commenters saying that it’s normal and everyone has them.
I have that too! And ridge lines from bed to tip! And several dents and stuff. It’s a damaged nail bed, right?
…right?
I had odd spots like that on my nail and it turned out to be squeamous cell carsinoma insitu. Doc removed the nail and the growth and all is well. 6 months post removal and the nail is about a quarter back.
If I know anything about Reddit, a bunch of people are about to tell OP about the rare genetic disorder they likely have.
Your nails have ridges. Ruffles have ridges. Therefore your nails are Ruffles.
I’m disappointed reddit, the top comment isn’t something like “This is parapoidal displacia and it’s happening because you’re eating too much corn.”

I just suddenly have this on every single fingernail but not breaks in the ridges. I told the doctor, and they don’t care. My bloodwork is uninteresting.
They seem to chalk it up to aging, but I thought it was strange that it happened all at once. It’s like someone ran my fingers through a crimper.
You have a condition known as Ruffle’s Knuckles.
Fuck the ridges, what phone have you got with that quality?!
Hi, I’m a nail tech. Ridges that grow in this direction are usually cause by aging and/or damage to your nail matrix (the area in your finger that creates the nail). Damage from smashing the finger or repeated hard work, small cuts, things like that. Nothing to worry about and it’s completely normal even for a younger person.
Been sticking your thumb in a deaf girls bum?
Why has no one pointed out this can be caused by an underlying illness? Anything from ringworm to cancer can cause this. OP needs to get checked out by a doctor ASAP.
All of my nails have solid lines / ridges (not broken lines like this) that go all the way from cuticle to tip. That’s also how they break when I break one. They split down one of those lines and not across. No, I can’t see a doctor about it. I live in the US.
