I hope not in all of your fingernails. I have some in my left thumb. I think 
that it is fungal but this is just a guess.

  Does anyone know about a cause for vertical ridges in the fingernails?  They 
look healthy, no sign of anything wrong other than many vertical ridges in 
every fingernail. All my life they've been thin and too delicate to grow out 
long, but they were always smooth.  Several months ago I asked my doctor about 
the ridges and she said she hopes they don't mean anything is wrong and showed 
me her nails which looked just like mine.  They seem to have gotten worse in 
the last few months, so CS must not do a thing for them.
