Nail pitting treatment

Nail pitting treatment

First let's start with nail pitting home treatment:

consume food that includes enough vitamins and minerals.
- tea tree oil is a natural phenomenon used in the nails to resolve problem of nail pitting
- do not clip your cuticles at all
water therapies
hydrotherapy
consumption of adequate water
- diet: no fast food, eat all the food that is 100% natural!
It is very important to understand that the nail diseases are usually caused by the kind of life that we have,factors such as stress, lack of rest and bad food can affect our bodies in ways increasingly worse.

Medical treatment of nail pitting is quite complex and it must be done by a dermatologist.
We explain here like you to know about what it is and do not consider is a painful treatment.

They use topical steroids in form of creams or ointments, once or twice per day for 4-6 months.

If this is not god for the patient the the doctors can use intralesional.
Triamcinolone acetonide solution is the most popular steroid. and it is used at different

solution concentrations ranging from 2.5 to 5 mg/ml and quantity per site injected between

0.05 and 0| ml at up to four injection areas. Usually injections are performed with a 30 g

needle locked to the syringe, monthly or bimonthly for 5-6 months at the proximal nail fold, as

it is useful mainly in nail matrix psoriasis (pitting. nail plate crumbling). ln cases of nail signs

due to the affection of the nail bed, injections must be perfonned at the lateral nail folds in

the nail bed .
As shown these treatments may differ from doctor to doctor and from patient to patient.
Anyway please do not try any medical treatment of nail pitting at home even if it seems simple.
