Beau’s lines are the horizontal grooves across the fingernails or toenails. They can appear due to illnesses that adhere to nail growth, damage to the nail matrix, and deficiency of vitamins and other nutrients. They can affect all the nails or just one or two. Damage through artificial nails, nails getting between the door, and extreme cold weather can also cause this condition. Skin conditions like eczema can also be a reason for beau’s lines.
