Avatar m tn Any trauma to the nail bed can also lead to dents. Heredity conditions are other conditions leading to dents. Alopecia areata, eczema and reactive arthritis are few other conditions which may cause the appearance of dents in nails. For exact cause seeking the opinion of a dermatologist will be helpful. Best wishes and regards!

Avatar m tn I still get the pressure tension headaches especially more now since I have found these dents on my skull. I am afraid that these dents will start appearing on other parts of my skull and come to the front of my skull where people can see it.

I went and showed the doctor and he said there are only two ways that you can get dents in your skull and that is either by trauma or infection.

Avatar f tn Why is my fingernail on my middle finger starting to pull away from my skin and turn white and the bottom half is pitting and peeling? What could this be?
Avatar f tn I have also noticed the rash is only on one half of the side of my finger. I also have a horizontal pattern of dents that vary in size all across the top of the nail. The nail is very flimsy as well and no matter how much I have cut it, it always grows out the same way with the dents. The nail also has no cuticle. None of my other finger nails have these problems and are not nearly as flimsy. The dents and rash appeared at the same time and have been there the same length of time.
