10 Alopecia Symptoms
Red Nails
Some alopecia symptoms don't involve the hair. According to the American Academy of Dermatology Association, between 10 and 20 percent of people with alopecia areata may see their nails develop a red tint.
In addition to the redness, the nails can develop pits near the cuticle and ridges that go the full length of the nails. These symptoms may clear up when bald spots begin to regrow. A person may be able to manage nail symptoms with a doctor's guidance.
