Sign of Alopecia #3: Nail Deformities
Another early sign of alopecia is the development of problems relating to nails on the fingers and toes. When a person develops alopecia, his or her nails can become pitted, wherein nails have tiny dents on the surface.
Another sign is the appearance of white spots or lines on the surface of the nail, causing it to become wavy or irregular. Texture-wise, nails that are affected by alopecia can become rough, thin, and unshiny. However, they do not necessarily break or fall off the finger.
