I was told it was low calcium. Since taking supplements it has got better.

I have odd nails, too, but dare I say it, only some of them. I had one bad one and was talking to a pharmacist and she said it is odd because all your other nails look very healthy. Then 3 others started the same problem. My GP said he thinks it is a fungal infection and suggested tea tree oil. I am using that and it does seem to be helping, but he said it can take a long time to right.

Hi Kate;

Yes I have this same issue but, it is worse than your photo. It is odd because, it is only on 3 of my fingers on my left hand and it is only on 1 finger on the right hand? I have been told it is not a fungal issue. My lupus doctor told me it is more than likely due to a lupus issue?

My fingers have been this way for 3 + years. So I can not give you any info on how to cure it as, I have not found one myself.

Wishing you a great weekend!

I've said it before many times and will probably say it many more.

👣Lupus effects us all in different ways but, yet effects us all in the same way. That doesn't make sence but, then neither does lupus!👣
