Follow up regarding partially white nails.

Hi everyone,

Just a follow up regarding my fingernails and toenails going partially white. Went to the podiatrist, she was really nice and she stated that it was a medical ridge due to taking medication. I told her I was on pred and she said it was that. Nothing at all to be bothered about. I told her I had been bothered about this thing called Terry's nails also possible fungus infection. She said a lot of medications affect nails, I already knew this but didn't know about them going partially white. Anyway, thankful I have not got anything else.

Are you taking vitamin D and Calcium? There might be a deficiency. Glad that it isn’t cause for concern.

Thanks Dappa! I have psoriasis on my feet and it has gone into my toe nails. Thankfully it hasn’t spread further.
