NAIL PITTING: FINGERNAIL PITTING IS OFTEN SEEN WITH PSORIASIS, DO YOU OR ANYONE ELSE IN YOUR FAMILY HAVE PSORIASIS? THERE ARE OTHER CONDITIONS THAT CAN BE ASSOCIATED WITH NAIL PITTING. ONE IS ALOPECIA AREATA AND A FEW OTHER DISORDERS. PLEASE SEE A DERMATOLOGIST WHO CAN EXPLAIN IN GREATER DETAIL AND MIGHT GIVE YOU TREATMENTS THAT MIGHT HELP TO CLEAR IT UP. THANK YOU FOR YOUR QUERY AND BEST LUCK.
