Given that around half of people with psoriasis have symptoms that affect their nails in some way, and most people with psoriasis will have nail psoriasis symptoms at some point during their lifetime, I'm curious to know how many people here are dealing with nail psoriasis. For anyone curious, we have a great article which has a list of the different ways that psoriasis can impact the nails: https://plaquepsoriasis.com/clinical/pathogenesis-nail-psoriasis - there's also some really interesting information on how nail psoriasis develops.
Personally, I have experienced all but one of the symptoms listed - I've never had red spots in the lunula. The most distressing nail symptom I've dealt with has been onycholysis, where the nails detach from the nail bed. My pinkie finger nail was only attached by around 2mm at the base of the nail at one point. I know some people even completely lose the nail due to this particular symptom.
Has anyone else experienced symptoms of nail psoriasis? And is there anything that helps you manage these? We'd love to hear from you!
