Question: I hae been having white spots on my nails for a while now what is it!?

This is called Leukonychia and is usually caused by trauma to the nail!. If the spots are on all of your nails and have lasted for several months it is most likely a zinc or protein deficiency, NOT a calcium deficiency!. A dermatologist should be seen if you are really concerned!.

White spots on the nail have nothing to do with diet!. They are the result of trauma to the nail bed!. Think of them like bruises!. They just don' show up as fast as bruises because they can take days or weeks to show up after the nail bed trauma because they have to grow out!.

Sometimes you cat get white spots from a reaction to polishes, hardeners, acrylic nails, glues etc!.

If the spots are bigger, spreading or yellowish that might indicate a fungal infection and you should see your doctor for treatment of that!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
