Finger Nail Ridging? Colored Line In Pinky?

Walla Walla, WA

I have been noticing the ridging, but my pinky today has this colored looking line. Anyone else have this? I did send a pic to my portal for my rheumy to view just in case.

I have had split, paper thin, ridged nails my whole life, inherited directly from Mom. I get them “done” because I do a lot of work with my hands and need a suit of armor on them so they don’t tear on the nail bed. 🤷‍♀️

Prolana nail strengthener from Amazon. It really works.

Hi Dawnmichelle,
I also have the ridging on my nails - but no lines. My RA doctor suggested (a few years ago) that it might be a symptom of psoriatic arthritis but so far I have not been diagnosed with this disease. I'm curious to hear what your doc has to say about this condition too. Hugs to you. 🤗
