Brief Answer:
Ridging of nail plates

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and noted your concern.

Vertical ridging of the nail plate is a sign of nail plate thinning. It is commonly due to repeated hand washing and exposure to harsh soaps and detergents in females. I suggest you take an oral biotin supplement once a day for a few weeks e.g tab revilus.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if you need any more assistance.
