Have you seen any lines on your nails recently? Although usually not a cause for concern, these marks can sometimes indicate hidden health problems or lack of nutrients. Here is more information about what creates lines on nails and when it might be a good idea to see a doctor. 1. Getting Older As you age, it is common for vertical lines on your nails to become more noticeable. These lines usually go from the base to the end of the nail and are usually not a problem. 2. Lack of necessary nutrients. Not having enough of some nutrients can also cause changes in nail health, like the development of vertical lines on the nails.
