Here are the symptoms of nail psoriasis:
Bites on the surface of the nail
The presence of small pitting on the surface of the nail or the nail plate, due to partial loss of cells, is known as pitting. The number as well as the depth of the depressions on each nail vary from one individual to another.
Separation of the nail bed or onycholysis
The nail can detach from the skin exposing the nail bed and this process is medically called onycholysis. It begins as a small white or yellow spot that spreads and eventually causes the nail to separate from the rich blood supply bed below.
Accumulation of debris or subungual hyperkeratosis
Debris in the form of chalky residue accumulates under the nail and causes the nail to peel off the nail bed. This phenomenon is quite painful and results in pain in the toenails, especially when wearing closed shoes.
Changes in the appearance of the nails
The most noticeable change is the discoloration and especially whitening (leukonchia) of the nail that occurs due to mild psoriatic nail disease. Reddish spots can also form under the nails due to splinter hemorrhage caused by the bursting of small blood vessels in the nail bed.
