Nail problem (Think it could be Psoriasis)

Nail problem (Think it could be Psoriasis)

Hi

I have been diagnosed with Psoriasis for most of my life but I not really sure if that will mean anything. After recently having a problem with one of my nails on my hand I have noticed dents in my nails they are really small dents but some fingers have them and some dont. Does anyone know what this is or how to treat it?

Thanks

Hi,

It appears that this could be a psoriatic nail, which may have caused the known condition called pitting. Do you have any other lesions of psoriasis? what treatment have you received for that till date? There are not enough resources to help you in the case of psoriatic nail and you may contact your doctor to understand this better. You may use cosmetic means to improve the appearance of the nails.

Hope this helped. Let us know if you may need more information.

Best regards
