Hi guys,

24years old and recently diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis, so far have found a few solutions to improve symptoms, however, have had a serious issue with my nails and was wondering if anyone else had experienced anything similar.

My left hand my nails have bruised badly and the white is slowing travelling down to the cuticle. to be graphic parts of the skin underneath the top of my nail peels away. Is this UC related or should I get medical advice?

If anyone has anything to help let me know

Hello, I haven’t experienced anything like this but I found this on another forum: https://www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=38&m=2067097
I would still get advice from a GP just to make sure.
