A member asked:

I think i may have dyshidrotic eczema on my fingers. some of my nail beds are puffy, and their respective nails warped. is there a connection?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Any dermatitis or inflammation near the nail can cause abnormal nail growth and thusly the normal appearance of those nails can change.
