Irregular or wavy nails can be caused by poorly manicured

Some people suffer from nails that have irregular or wavy surfaces. Sometimes not even sanding the top of the nail and applying base and enamel can hide these changes. There are several types of irregularities that can arise on the surface of the nails. See the main types and their common causes:

Parallel longitudinal grooves

This type of irregularity is characterized by streaks that appear on the nails and may be present in one of them, in several or even all of them. When this affects all the nails, it is usually a sign of the aging of the nails: just as the hair turns white, the nails become irregular. The only possible treatment is to sand and apply base and enamel. Nails tend to look good after being treated that way.

When this groove is unique and reaches only one nail, the greatest chance is that it is caused by the habit of pricking the cuticle of that particular nail. The central groove looks like a washing tank. The treatment is to stop the trauma and wait for the health of the nail to be restored.

Among the rarest causes of this same picture are cysts and tumors that reach the nail matrix (part of the body in which it is made). These lesions usually accompany pain and swelling near the cuticle. Patients with rheumatism may have a similar picture.

Transverse grooves

This type of irregularity may be deep or shallow and may reach one or more nails. The most common cause of this type of problem is the aggressive manicure, which damages the nail matrix by pushing the cuticle with great force. If this is the problem, simply avoid this trauma that the nail will completely recover between 3 and 9 months (depending on whether it is the feet or hands).

A very particular situation can occur in children and adults who are passing through a serious illness with hospitalization, use of chemotherapeutics, prolonged fever, infections, among others, etc. In this case, there is a stop in the production of the nail with later recovery. This can leave a groove of varying depth, which will be present on all fingernails, usually at the same height.

Another cause of nail irregularity occurs when the person moves with water and chemicals or cleaning and loses the cuticles, which are the protection of the nail factory. In this disease there is a swelling of the region below the cuticle and totally irregular nails, but the frame may begin with overlapping transverse grooves.

Rough nails

When the nails are full of wrinkles, depoluced and with several small scratches, white dots and little holes, these characteristics may be the clue to a dermatological nail disease. It is important to seek the dermatologist so that the correct diagnosis can be made and the treatment started as soon as possible.

Several of these diseases can be treated with excellent response to the medication, provided the diagnosis is made at the beginning of the symptoms. The differential of these diseases is made with ringworm, which is more common and, despite the treatment being delayed, easier to treat, especially at the beginning.

How to avoid and take care of the problem

In the face of all this, my tip for who has this problem is:

  • Avoid pushing the cuticles tightly. Prefer to use products to soften them and remove only the excess with a curette
  • Never poking your nails. This can lead to sequelae and deformities without back
  • In front of nails with parallel ridges: gently sand the surface of the nails and apply the base and the enamel
  • Avoid using formalin to try to solve this type of problem, even if the nails are breaking at the tips: the formalin only aggravates the picture because it causes the nails to dry and lose water. In addition, they can make nails sore, masking symptoms
  • If your nails start to get worse or are sore, it is important to look for a specialist because you may have an inflammatory nail disease such as psoriasis, for example
  • If, in addition to changing the surface, changing the color of the nails or swelling and deformities do not waste time and go to the dermatologist. These are warning signs of nail tumors!

Skin care prevents oiliness and premature aging

If you count, you have hair minus a five kinds of cream you use daily, is not it? But using them when you feel like it or when you remember it just does not guarantee 100% effectiveness. This is because the whole body, including the skin, has a rhythm of functioning regulated by the nervous system, which, influenced by the perception of the changes of the light, changes the types and amounts of hormones released into the body.
