My ASD son has both of these - and I need to figure out the cause.
He is a close-to-recovery 10yo who has an annual yeast flare in spring.
My son describes his nails as having "holes", but really it is pitting. All the
info I found says that means psoriasis, BUT he has no indications of that. His
skin is perfect.
I've found all kinds of mixed info re the cause of vertical ridges - B12
deficiency, iron deficiency, calcium deficiency, zinc deficiency, etc.
His nails are strong and not brittle.
I am wondering if this is possibly related to a suspected adrenal/thyroid
problem.
