    Furrows are ridges that can run lengthwise or across nails, with lengthwise ridges being normal in adults. They increase with age and can be caused by conditions like psoriasis or frostbite. Ridges across nails are caused by fevers, pregnancy, or measles. Treatment includes moisturizing nails regularly, keeping them neat, avoiding biting, and reducing water exposure, while injections or skin resurfacing can also help. Hangnails occur when the cuticle splits, which careless cuticle removal, dryness, or cutting too much can cause, and may lead to infection if not treated.
