A member asked:
I have had this awful chronic (well, many years) horizontal ridging on my second toenails . the cuticle is misshapen also. causes/cures?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably trauma: Repetitive trauma against the second toe from shoegear can cause this. Most times this toe is longer than the two toes in both sides and it will rub or bang against the shoe more than the others causing nail and skin thickening. It could also be dry skin or even heredity.
