A member asked:
Sudden nail pitting out of nowhere. never had it before. im 29 years old. can it be normal and go away by it self?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nail pitting: Nail pitting if in one nail only can be monitored, but if multiple nails should get evaluated further. Can be a sign of nail psoriasis or other disorders. Would recommend seeing a dermatologist if progresses. Can try biotin. Also have a healthy diet rich in calcium and vitamin d. Stay hydrated,
