Toenail pitting refers to the presence of small depressions or indentations on the surface of the toenail. It is a common feature in various nail conditions, including psoriasis, fungal infections, and alopecia areata. The pits are usually round or oval-shaped and can vary in size and depth. Toenail pitting is often a result of abnormalities in the growth and development of the nail matrix, which is responsible for producing the nail plate. It can be a cosmetic concern for some individuals, but it is typically harmless and does not require treatment unless it is associated with an underlying condition causing discomfort or other symptoms.
