Lines on nails are common and often harmless. Nails grow from the matrix beneath the cuticle, and as they form, they reflect what\u2019s happening in the body. Because nails grow slowly, they can act like a timeline of health, stress, and aging.<\/p>\n

Vertical ridges are the most common type. They run from the base to the tip and are usually a normal part of aging, caused by slower and less uniform cell production over time.<\/p>\n

In most cases, these ridges don\u2019t signal disease. However, if they become more noticeable or appear with changes in color, thickness, or brittleness, they may point to other factors.<\/p>\n

Nutritional deficiencies\u2014such as low iron, zinc, protein, or certain vitamins\u2014can affect nail texture. Skin conditions like eczema may also disrupt normal growth patterns.<\/p>\n

Horizontal lines, known as Beau\u2019s lines, are less common and may indicate a temporary \u062a\u0648\u0642\u0641 in nail growth due to stress, illness, or fever.<\/p>\n

These lines form when the body redirects energy away from nail production during difficult periods. As the nail grows, the line moves outward, marking when the disruption occurred.<\/p>\n

Not all nail changes come from internal issues. Injuries, chemicals, moisture, or cosmetic treatments like acrylics can also cause ridges or discoloration.<\/p>\n

Overall, nail changes should be viewed in context. Gradual, stable ridges are usually harmless, while sudden or widespread changes may be worth checking with a professional.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
