Nail Psoriasis Description and Photo:"Psoriasis can affect both the toenails and fingernails. Commonly it appears as pits in the nails of various size, shape, and depth. Sometimes the nails develop a yellowish color and become thick. The nails may crumble easily and be surrounded by inflammation. Another possible symptom is detachment of the nail from the nail bed."

******************************************************

Nail Disorders, Dr. Koop.com:"Ridging or grooving on the nails is evidence of altered nail growth due to illness or damage to the nail bed. The nail bed may become infected with tinea or monilia (both fungal diseases), causing deformity of the nail with discoloration and splitting. The nails of psoriasis patients are frequently pitted and thickened. Ridging and thickening may be seen in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Nails can also be damaged by certain hormonal deficiencies. Bitten fingernails may be a sign of anxiety."

******************************************************

The Long and Short of Nails, American Academy of Dermatology:"Nails in good condition can be very attractive. They also reflect an individual's personal habits and health -- good or bad. Women, more often than men, place a great deal of importance on how their nails look -- and spend a considerable amount of time and money to keep them in top shape."

******************************************************

Your Fingernails. What Do They Reveal About Your Health?:"Take a look at your fingernails. Are they strong and healthy-looking? Or do you see ridges or areas of unusual color or shape? The condition of your nails may offer clues to your general health. Illnesses can cause changes in your nails that your doctor can use to develop a diagnosis."
