As the summer goes on, it is inevitable that you will start to see the signs of a tan line on your nails. This is simply the drying up and cracking of the outer part of your nail. While this is happening, there are several things that you can do to prevent this from happening and keep your nails in tip-top shape.
Why Do My Fingernails Have Ridges?
This is a frequent question we get asked by our patients. This is a really common condition, and typically goes away over time. In some people, the ridge is a result of an injury, or a medical condition. For example, you may have a baby’s fingernail that formed in an unusual way, or you may have an injury that caused the nail to grow in an abnormal way. If the nails continue to grow in this manner, the fingernail will become ever longer, forming a ridge.
What Do Ridges Mean on My Fingernails?
Fingernail ridges or transverse ridges occur when you chew your nails too short. The tongue forces its way into the nail bed and breaks the skin. The skin then forms ridges or grooves on the surface of the nails. Nail ridges can be flat or raised. Flat ridges are usually caused by poor hygiene and care. Poor hygiene can lead to a buildup of dirt or fungi between the skin and the nail. The fungi then causes the skin to crack and form a raised ridge. Nail ridges can be removed by using a file or nail file. You can also file away the rough part of the ridge and smooth it out. Nail ridges that are not associated with poor hygiene or nail care are usually genetic. With this type of nail ridge, there is no way to treat it.
What’s the Best Way to Clean Ridged Fingernails?
Having clean, healthy fingernails is very important. Having this perfectly manicured look can be a lot of work. You may have to take a shower and have your nails carefully trimmed. However, what you may not have thought about is that there are things you can do to make it easier to keep your fingernails looking their best. Start by making sure you are well moisturized. Dry, scaly skin can make it harder to maintain manicures. Moisturizing your hands can help. There are also certain skin and nail products that can help keep your nails looking healthy.
Ridged Fingernails and How to Treat Them
The skin on the underside of your fingers has tiny hair follicles. These hair follicles produce hair as it grows. When it reaches a certain length, the hair is cut off to maintain a smooth, even appearance. But over time, hair follicles can grow longer. This can lead to ridged fingernails, which are referred to as Peau d’orange, or orange peel nails. Ridged fingernails can be very itchy, irritating and unsightly. Even though they don’t pose any health risks, they can be very noticeable and cause you embarrassment. In addition, removing the ridges can take the nail down to the skin. To get rid of ridged fingernails, you’ll need to clip them with nail clippers.
When to Check Your Nails
Ridged nails are nails that have been cut into a shape that is rounder and thicker than normal. There are several reasons why your nails could be ridged. One of the most common is that you are a nail biter. If you are a nail biter, you might be damaging your nail bed or the base of your nail. You can check if this is the case by touching your nail and feeling your nail bed for irritation. If your nail is ridged, and you are sure that you are a nail biter, then you might want to seek help from your physician. This is because you might be breaking down your nails, and this could cause further problems in the long run. Another reason why your nails could be ridged is that your nails are growing too fast. To grow properly, your nails should be soft, flexible, and not cracked. However, if your nails are too hard, then you might be damaging your nail bed and the base of your nail. The reason that your nails are too hard is that you might be biting your nails excessively. If this is the case, you should seek help from a physician because you might be developing an infection in your nail bed. If you are living with nail-biting, you might want to try a home remedy that is designed to ease your nail-biting problem. You can also take care of your nail-biting habit by making sure that you brush your teeth before you go to bed at night,
