Some nail conditions like vertical ridges are harmless. These ridges extend from under the cuticle to the end of your fingertip. They tend to become more pronounced as you age. Just so you don't waste a lot of money trying to get rid of them - you can't. You can make the overall nail look better which takes away from the focus on the ridges. But please don't buy products to get rid of ridges.
Horizontal ridges are a different story and indicate that you should pay closer attention or even seek medical attention. These indentations that run across your nails (from side to side) are usually called Beau's lines and can appear when growth at the area under your cuticle is interrupted. This might occur because of an injury or severe illness.
If you have a nail problem that persists or is associated with other signs and symptoms, consider getting it checked out.
