Dark lines going down on nails could also be a sign of subungual melanoma, so you might want to check for that.
Comment on Anyone?
aubertlone@lemmy.world 5 days agoYou gave me fairly panic with that nail lines constant and I just had to go look it up.
No, nails having lines going down them is not necessarily a sign of vitamin deficiency. Turns out that the majority of the time it’s completely harmless and a sign of aging. Both index fingers and my right middle finger have a very faint dark line going from cuticle tip.
Your mileage may vary, IDK about your personal diet etc. just wanted to chime in about the nails thing

Yeah; when those lines are horizontal – though –, you may want to worry. But vertically, usually not.

Interesting. Thanks and sorry for scaring you.
I would note that mine are on a single nail and less lines and more defined ridges where you can run another nail over and feel it bumping across.
