Answers from Expert: Dr. Richard Thomas, MD, FRCPC

My fingernails and toenails are reedy. Do I have a nail fungus and what can I do about it other than hiding it with polish?

I cannot tell if what you actually have is a fungus. Nails often become ridged as we get older and fungus does not usually affect all nails equally. It sounds to me as if all your nails are involved in a similar pattern, so that makes fungus unlikely. See your doctor if you are worried. Richard Thomas
