Every part of your body, including your nails, may feel the effects of dehydration. Your nails could become ridged and fragile if you don’t get enough water. Your nails and skin will remain healthy if you drink enough of water.
Injury to the Nails
Nail trauma, such as a crush injury or persistent nail picking, may result in vertical ridges. Damage to the nail bed and interference with regular nail development may result from these incidents.
The Fifth Skin Illness
Nail anomalies, including ridges, may be caused by certain skin disorders, particularly those that impact the cuticles or the skin around the nail, including eczema or psoriasis.
