How to recognize psoriasis nails?
NAIL PSORIASIS:
Psoriasis affecting the nails produces a variety of changes in the appearance of finger and toe nails.
These changes include discolouring under the nail plate, pitting of the nails, lines going across the nails,
thickening of the skin under the nail, and the loosening (onycholysis) and crumbling of the nail.
Psoriasis toe nails are very frequently observed in people who suffer on psoriasis.
About psoriasis- and nail disorders in general.
Nail diseases are in a separate category from diseases of the skin.
Although nails are a skin appendage, they have their own signs and symptoms which may relate to other medical conditions.
Nail conditions that show signs of infection or inflammation require medical assistance and cannot be treated at a beauty parlor.
