A member asked:
If you have dents/pitting in nails. do you consult a gp or a dermatologist as your first option?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nail pitting: Pitting of the nails may be seen in certain conditions such as psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. There are effective medications if this is the case. I would recommend being seen by a dermatologist or a rheumatologist. I am happy to do a consult if necessary.
