Welcome to Flaym, Bonnie! Yes my nails split on my thumb especially, and the nail beds change over time. I have a few ridgy nails on the hands and a few pitted ones too that seem to come and go / move from finger to finger. I had a whole foot of psoriatic toenails for about 3 years and they looked crumbly, chalky, white and thick. Hope this helps!

Sure does Bonnie

Definitely. I use Sebamed Hand & Nail Balm to keep the nails stronger

Yes. My toe nails are getting better with diet and time. Sometimes they look normal and sometimes dry and split. I keep my nails short and manicured with polish that is close to my skin color

Sadly yes, they're also very prone to break.

This is so me with my fingernails! They've got ridges the length of the nail bed and they crack and split like you wouldn't believe. :(

I hate that Kate it is so sore, my left thumb does this all the time and I wish it would heal!

Oh boy, and nothing seems to help. Using gel polish only hides it, soaking in Epsom salts helps for a short 2 hours. The best thing I have found for the ridges and little pinholes is an emery with 4 sides each with a different level of roughness, ending in a soft side. I start with the roughest side and do all my nails and work my way up to the soft buffer side. If I do this daily, my nails look pretty good, but it’s a lengthy process.

I always have to cut mine when they split downwards so am never able to put nail varnish on as they are all different lengths

Do not use gel polish! I did just once and left my nails a mess. My hair stylist told me it can ruin your nails it took mine a long time to get back to normal.
