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. Susan

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. Pat --------------------------------- Relax. Yahoo!
