What do transverse ridges on fingernails mean?
Transverse ridges on fingernails – also known as Beau's lines – are horizontal depressions in the nail. They occur when nail growth has been temporarily disrupted.
Possible causes include:
Stress or severe physical strain
Infections or fever
Hormonal changes
Injury to the nail matrix
Nutrient deficiency
Since nails grow slowly, such changes often only become visible on the nail plate weeks later.
What deficiency causes transverse ridges on fingernails?
A common question is: What deficiency is behind transverse ridges?
Possible connections exist with:
Iron deficiency
Zinc deficiency
Biotin deficiency
General nutrient deficiency
Protein deficiency can also affect nail structure, as nails are primarily composed of keratin.
Important: Transverse ridges do not necessarily indicate a deficiency. They can have many causes. Therefore, persistent changes should always be medically investigated.
What do horizontal lines on fingernails mean & what does it mean if fingernails are wavy?
Horizontal lines or stripes are usually identical to transverse ridges. They indicate that nail growth has been temporarily interrupted or slowed down. If several stripes appear simultaneously on multiple nails, this can be an indication of systemic stress on the body. Individual ridges, on the other hand, often result from mechanical impact or minor injuries. Wavy-looking nails often occur due to: Dry, stressed nail plates Frequent removal of gel or polish Chemical exposure Lack of moisture Gentle care is particularly important here. Excessive buffing often worsens the problem, as the nail plate becomes further thinned.
