Nail Pitting California

Nail Pitting California, nail pits are superficial punctuate depressions of the dorsal nail plate . Multiple nails may have pitting, with fingernails more commonly affected.

The proximal nail matrix gives rise to the dorsal nail plate and is therefore primarily affected by a cause active dermatitis. The ventral aspect of the proximal nail fold closely approximates the nail plate and may also play a role in parthenogenesis.

It is believed that clusters of cells with retained nuclei develop in the superficial layers of the developing nail plate, and as the nail grows outward, these cells are sloughed off leaving pits in the nail plate.

U4 Deeper depressions suggest involvement of the intermediate and distal portions of the nail matrix, in addition to the proximal portion.

The amount of time in which the matrix is free of disease correlates directly with the length of normal nail plate growth observed?"
