Fingernails

How has AU affected your fingernails? I have one that's pretty riddled with pin-like indentions. Several of the others are oddly shaped and get the pin-sized indentions from time to time. My dermatologist told me (a long long time ago) that your fingernails are flattened, elongated hairs.

Karem,
Did you do anything which might be associated with the change?

No, it was just about a matter of time. (and being less depressive, I think)

I believe it is part of alopecia in general. I have always been told that it is part of my disease. I have universalis and my nails have lines and some pitting. They also get brittle from time to time. All my hair, head to toe, fell out when I was 3, I am now 46.
