Anyone else with pitted fingernails?
I've got one nail in particular that has a bunch of little pits in it. Several others have a couple pits in them. Google tells me I might have psoriasis. That and the lengthwise ridges (though fairly subtle) could mean liver disorder or anemia. As far as I know, I don't show any other symptoms...
I think I'm falling apart. Anyone else have fingernail oddities that do or don't mean something? Try not to get gross in your descriptions... |

how much milk do you all drink?
|
i was thinking lack of calcium because i only have about a single bowl of cereal every other week or so or maybe a cup of choclate milk....
|
Take a multi-vitamin daily, maybe that'll help them out.
|
I bite my nails to the nubs. Would never even know if I had pits in 'em.
|
I don't have any pits in mine, but mine do have some funky lines running down them..
|
only thing I got is random white spots in mine. but that been going on most of my life :?
|
the white spots sometimes indicate vitamin/mineral deficiency. Pitted nails are (as Google told you) usually psoriasis. I have very mild psoriasis that actually affects just certain parts of my hands and around my eyes. It really only flares when I eat something or are exposed to something i'm allergic to. Believe it or not, a lot of people (me included) are convinced that mild detox remedies work. They might work on nail psoriasis too. After spending 1 hour a day in a sauna (Infrared Heat) for about a week, my psoriasis visibly cleared and was gone in a couple of weeks. sweating all that junk out did the trick. anyway, longwinded response. breathe scott, breathe. :shock:
