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.
