Partial, because only small areas on your nails turn white and not the entire nail. These round dots can form all over your nail plate and are mostly round in shape. They are usually harmless and typically aren\u2019t a cause for concern. However, the size of the dots and their amount can suggest the underlying cause. Most people have experienced white spots on nails at a certain point in life, as they can appear regardless of age or gender. Moreover, their appearance can vary from nail to nail.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"leukonychia%e2%80%93causes\"><\/span><span id=\"leukonychia-causes\" class=\"ez-toc-section\"><\/span><b>Leukonychia\u2013causes<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There\u2019s a few common misconceptions related to the question, why are there white spots on my nails? Many people think that the cause is calcium deficiency. However, this is rarely the case. Most commonly,\u00a0<b>white spots result from nail bed damage stemming from dryness or trauma<\/b>. So, don\u2019t be alarmed if you stub your toenail or hit your fingernail and then see white dots appear\u2014the injury is the cause. The improper removal of a gel manicure or acrylics can also lead to the emergence of these spots. Your nail bed can become easily damaged during such a process.<\/p>\n<p>Systemic illness may be another cause of leukonychia spots, although that\u2019s rare. If you struggle with anemia, diabetes, scarring of the liver, or kidney disease, you may experience the appearance of white spots on your fingernails and toenails.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, fungal disease or infection could have caused these spots to emerge, especially if you have been exposing your nails to a warm and moist environment.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_33333\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-33333\" style=\"width: 1280px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-33333\" src=\"https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/01134012\/img-white-spots-on-fingernail.jpg\" alt=\"Leukonychia\u2013causes\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/01134012\/img-white-spots-on-fingernail.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/01134012\/img-white-spots-on-fingernail-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/01134012\/img-white-spots-on-fingernail-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/01134012\/img-white-spots-on-fingernail-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-33333\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">White spots on fingernails are most often the result of physical trauma<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-do-i-have-white-spots-on-my-nails\"><\/span><b>Why do I have white spots on my nails?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you observe leukonychia spots on your nails, you need to look at the last few weeks of your daily routine. Did you undergo any trauma? Or maybe you gave in to the temptation of peeling off your manicure? Also, did your dietary habits change? Have you been omitting fruits and vegetables? Excessive amounts of stress may also be the culprit if you are prone to nail biting, as this may result in trauma.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"white-spots-on-nails%e2%80%93vitamin-deficiency\"><\/span><span id=\"white-spots-on-nails-vitamin-deficiency\" class=\"ez-toc-section\"><\/span><b>White spots on nails\u2013vitamin deficiency<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Although many still believe in this misconception, vitamin and mineral deficiencies rarely cause leukonychia spots. This stems from the fact that the deficiency levels would have to be extremely high, which rarely happens among U.S. citizens. The reason for this misconception can be found in the causes of white lines or ridges. Both can be, in some cases, traced back to nutrient deficiencies.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-to-get-rid-of-white-spots-on-nails\"><\/span><span id=\"how-to-get-rid-of-white-spots-on-nails\" class=\"ez-toc-section\"><\/span><b>How to get rid of white spots on nails?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Possible\u00a0<b>ways to rid your nails of white spots depend on their cause<\/b>. If you suffered an injury and your leukonychia spots result from trauma, you will simply have to wait for your nails to grow. If an allergic reaction caused the spots, you will want to determine the allergen, and try to avoid it. Once this allergen is eliminated from your surroundings, yet again, you will have to be patient and wait for the spots to grow out.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to improve the condition of your nails, you can always try to include more foods that are rich in vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids. They will help strengthen your nails and possibly aid in faster growth.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"treatments-for-white-spots-on-my-nails\"><\/span><span id=\"treatments-for-white-spots-on-my-nails\" class=\"ez-toc-section\"><\/span><b>Treatments for white spots on my nails<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Although in most cases, leukonychia spots are caused by trauma and don\u2019t need any additional treatment, there are still more serious cases. With fungal or bacterial infections and situations in which you cannot determine the cause on your own, we highly recommend you schedule an appointment with a doctor.\u00a0<b>They will help find the reason behind your white spots and develop a personalized treatment plan<\/b>.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-to-prevent-white-spots-on-nails\"><\/span><span id=\"how-to-prevent-white-spots-on-nails\" class=\"ez-toc-section\"><\/span><b>How to prevent white spots on nails?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Start by determining the cause of leukonychia spots on your nails. Once you know the cause, preventing them will become much more manageable. You should also try to avoid damaging situations, biting, and exposure to chemicals. If you get regular manicures, give your nails time to breathe every once in a while. And always make sure your nails are getting enough hydration. Remember to also use hand lotion and opt for cuticle oil. Finally, tweak your dietary habits and consider taking a biotin supplement, as this will strengthen your nails and make them less prone to damage and, thus, leukonychia spots.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever asked yourself, why do I have white spots on my nails?
