Pitted nails?
I was reading blogs on Alopecia World and came accross one about pitted nails so i started to look at mine and i noticed that one of my nails has little dents and it doesn't look as smooth as the others? i wonder does that mean that im going to have Alopecia? Let me just say that my daughter whose 7 years old developed alopecia about a year and a half ago and my granmother had it as well.

My daughter has pits on most of her toenails and fingernails. I noticed them about a year before her AA developed and this was the detail that confirmed her diagnosis....I have read as much as I can on this, and there are some people who just have nail involvement and do not develop AA. I hope this is the case for you. Are your daughter's nails affected? My daughter's nails recently are improving--her derm said the pits can come and go.

I have pitts! lol
not sure the cause of mine as they could be linked to my alopecia or they can also be linked to my Psoriasis or so i was told by a beautition friend.
Also fungal infection, hardening of the arteries and vitamin deficiency can cause it.
Hope this helps!

yeah i have 'dents' too, i always have and always wondered about it and didnt find out till just earlyer this year that its connected to AA, however unlike everything i have read they dont seem to coraspond with my alopicia so you may be effected with AA in just this small manor.
