Dr Karan - What Are White Spots on Finger Nails?

[aleema-il]

Unfortunate news, these have been with me for my whole entire life

[Sylvantess]

Actually, in my case it really was zinc deficiency. I didn’t get any trauma to the nails. As soon as I started taking appropriate supplements and adjusted my nutrition, the white spots went away. I’ve had this problem practically all my life and the deficiency is just how I am.

Filipino kids be like: "So you have 2 white spots? Then you have 2 admirers."

I never injured my nails. But I have been using the most intense version of acetone nail polish remover and have worn nail polish constantly for the last several months. I think that's what it is because it's covering literally all my nails. I'm deciding to take a break from the acetone and nail polish to see if anything changes. Never had this problem until now.

I’ve had them in years, hasn’t gone away yet and I haven’t done any of these

My grandmother: "if you have 1 white spot, then you will have 1 gift"

[valaineperry]

My mom always said they were “nail bruises” so pleased to see she was right!

[Balgeta]

In here, it is believed that when you get that white spot and it moves and disappears, you'll get a new gift from either your parents or anyone.

[verabakhuisen]

I have them on almost all my fingers and I've had them for years already 🤷‍♀️

[peterdefrankrijker]

I’m very happy that you chose to debunk that old zinc deficiency malarkey.

[jessicagross]

Huh, I've had these before. Never really thought about them before.🤔

[evita]

"I'm going to hit you so hard I see spots" is my new threat.

[fliegerfaust]

I’ve had these my whole life and I don’t regularly impact my nails

[nichollle]

oh yeah i've always had multiple of these on my nails at any given time. i've been biting my nails for as long as i can remember and at this point i don't think i will ever stop.

[davidmiljkovic]

My nails grow super fast. I'd say faster than my hair. So for me it takes 2-3 weeks for the white spot to grow enough for me to clip

[houriahammouta]

This amazing. I'm always told that they're a sign of zinc deficiency and I believed it because of my chronic fatigue.

[dare]

its literally because of zinc deficiency

[rifaaquidah]

Oh well I have this because I scraped the wall and it’s still in my nail to this day😅😂

[elliotskjelmose]

[MinecraftNoobx]
