Rough, uneven nails may reflect low zinc, calcium, or vitamin A, or signal skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis. Pitting appears as tiny dents or ripples. Psoriasis often causes nail pitting, and nail changes can mirror the severity of skin symptoms. Alopecia areata and lichen planus can also pit nails. Good care can limit damage, but treatment usually targets the underlying condition rather than the nail changes alone.
