lalalalaloopsy 0 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I get these small white spots on my finger nails and I hate them. I don't remember exactly when I started getting them but I want them gone. What could they be from and what could I possibly do to prevent them from appearing on my nails? Thanks... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sleaman 0 Share Posted July 11, 2008 i think thats usually a sign of zinc dficiency. maybe try taking a zinc supplement daily Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darkviolet31 0 Share Posted July 25, 2008 white spots on finger nails might be a deficiency of zinc. try to do a research about it. You may also see a nauropath to help you with this..good luck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
musica36 0 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I have always heard they are from damage. Biting nails, picking at them to somewhat disrupt the nail bed, banging your hand with your fingers against something. They won't show right away because it is what happens under where the nail starts...If you had a severe enough zinc deficiency to get the spots, I think you would see other signs too (like hair falling out), could be though Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Zanpakutou 1 Share Posted July 26, 2008 When I started taking the glucomanan supplement I got these white flecks on my fingernails. Since I stopped they're growing out and I haven't seen anymore developing. I believe it's due to some kind of deficiency. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cherry609 0 Share Posted July 26, 2008 I remember a few years ago I had them all over my nails. There were multiple ones on all my fingers. It was horrible. Turns out it was the fucking nail salon I was going to. After I stopped going there they cleared up and I could finally see my actual nails.But if you don't go to a nail salon I would say you need some zinc. You may also notice hair loss with the lack of zinc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lfobia 0 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Its because you lacking calcium so drink some milk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
acholicry 0 Share Posted July 27, 2008 If you're already taking zinc, it means you aren't digesting it, or your body isn't using it for whatever reason. Consider the possibility that you have little to no stomach acid (if you have any problems with digestion especially) I agree with the other reply: see a naturopath.

teadrinker 0 Share Posted July 27, 2008 I used to have these on all of my fingernails too! And then someone told me I was getting too much calcium, so I stopped dairy products and they went away! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
