Brief Answer:
Please upload an image.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone through your query and understand your concerns. However, I would insist you to upload an image of the ridges.

Low iron levels could often lead to such a presentation. I would insist you to get your blood hemoglobin level checked.

I would wait for your response.
