In addition, the Mayo Clinic explains that psoriasis doesn’t limit itself to the skin. It can also affect your nails, causing them to become thickened, pitted, discolored, or even detach from the nail bed (a condition called onycholysis). Nail changes are often an early indicator of psoriatic arthritis, a related condition that affects the joints.
Psoriasis may come in different forms, but understanding its signs can empower you to take control. If you notice any of the signs we’ve covered, consult a dermatologist to get the care and treatment you deserve for your better overall health.
