Hi,

Deep indentations on the nail can occur due to multiple causes.
It can occur due to iron deficiency, chronic insults like chronic liver and kidney disease, certain medicines and systemic diseases.
I would recommend you to upload the pictures of the affected areas under the report section of the site so that I can have a clearer picture of the condition and can guide you accordingly.
