Q. I have light colored vertical lines in my finger nails. Can you help me out?
Hi doctor,
I have recently noticed some light colored vertical lines in my thumb and index finger nails. I have attached the photos for your reference. When I searched on the internet, I found very disturbing things including skin cancer. I have hypothyroidism and chronic depression. I am on Bupron 300 and Thyroxin 100. By looking at the pictures, can you help me out?
