Nail Psoriasis
What is Nail Psoriasis
Nail psoriasis is a manifestation of psoriasis affecting the fingernails and toenails, often indicating deep-seated constitutional imbalance.
Homeopathically, nail involvement reflects internal derangement of the vital force and accumulation of morbid matter that expresses through nails, cuticles, and surrounding skin.
It may occur alone or along with skin psoriasis, and often signals chronic or recurring psoric tendencies.
कारण
- Constitutional predisposition (psoric or sycotic tendencies).
- Suppression of skin eruptions elsewhere on the body.
- Stress, emotional strain, or anxiety.
- Injury or trauma to nails.
- Systemic illness or internal imbalance, weakening the vital force.
- Infections or chronic inflammation can aggravate nail changes.
लक्षण
- Pitting – small depressions or “pinprick” marks on the nail surface.
- Discoloration – yellow, brown, or whitish nails.
- Thickening or crumbling of nails.
- Onycholysis – separation of the nail from the nail bed.
- Ridges or lines along the nails.
- Pain or tenderness in severe cases.
- Nails may appear brittle, rough, and weak, sometimes with white scales under nails.
Homeopathic Interpretation & Approach
Homeopathy views nail psoriasis as a signal of deeper constitutional disorder rather than just a nail problem.
The vital force is disturbed, causing improper growth and health of nails.
