Beau’s Lines on Nails: Often a Symptom of a Serious Underlying Condition

 Beau’s lines are ridges that develop across the nails. They happen when nail growth is interrupted at the nail matrix. They can result from environmental factors and some medical issues.

What are Beau’s lines?

Most people don’t pay much attention to their fingernails on a regular basis. Yet our fingernails are a big help to us in our everyday lives: They help us grip, scratch, separate things, and much more.

You might also be surprised to learn that the appearance of your fingernails can help you better understand you health. And in some cases, our nails may pinpoint specific health problems.

One common nail deformation often indicating health trouble is Beau’s lines. Sometimes people mistakenly call these ridges forming across the nail “bows lines,” or “bow lines.”

Beau’s lines occur when nail growth is interrupted at the nail matrix — the place where your nail emerges from your finger.

Usually the cause of Beau’s lines is injury or severe illness, but in some cases, environmental factors may be to blame. In order to treat Beau’s lines, you must treat the underlying medical condition that caused them.

What do Beau’s lines look like?

Beau’s lines are horizontal indentations, or ridges, that develop across the nails. They usually run straight across the nail. A person may develop one or more Beau’s lines on any nail, or across multiple nails.
