5. Pits in your nails

Indentations, or pits in the nails, are usually on fingernails instead of toenails. Trauma, hair loss, or nail psoriasis might cause these indentations, says Shari Lipner, MD, a dermatologist at NewYork-Presbyterian and Weill Cornell Medicine. Nail pitting is very common in patients with psoriasis and can affect up to 50% of people suffering from this condition.

If you notice pits in your nails, visit your dermatologists as soon as possible, especially when they are accompanied with nail separation, flaking or crumbling, or other damage to or changes in the nail.

I would like to have these removed, but because insurance won’t covered it, they don’t want to. They claim this to be cosmetic. How can I get insurance to cover this?
