Hmmmm.....My thumbnails are weird. I don't have "ridges" per se. At least not little ones. But my thumbnails are bumpy. If you look at them from the side, instead of being flat, they have bumps like hills. They've been like that for eons.
They're not discolored, don't break easily, don't pull away from the nail bed or anything like that. I have told it was damage to the nail bed from trimming cuticles (none of the other fingers have it) and I've been told it was a nail fungus, but it doesn't look like the pictures of nail fungus. Anyway, since they don't leap out at you right away when you look at my hands, I have more or less ignored them because I've had bigger fish to fry. But I wouldn't mind knowing what it was so I could get rid of it, or if it signals any bigger problem. Any ideas?
