Psoriasis [PLEASE READ FIRST POST!]
in Health ·
I have a son who is about to turn seven years old in just a few months. About two or three years back, I started noticing these strange little pits and ridges forming on his fingernails. At first, I was convinced he was simply doing his usual thing—shoving his hands in his mouth constantly—and causing the damage himself, but since the condition has clearly progressed, I brought it to his pediatrician's attention. Her response? She dismissed it as nothing more than a simple vitamin deficiency. So, naturally, I’ve been practically force-feeding him supplements ever since, yet there hasn't been any improvement whatsoever. Interestingly, a manicurist I spoke with mentioned she’s seen this exact pattern in patients dealing with psoriasis, noting it looks like "pitting" or a "ring" effect. Should I be genuinely concerned here, and does anyone else out there have experience dealing with something similar?
