White spots on nails?

[libby1]

Just noticed White Spots on my finger nails – doesn’t anyone know what causes this?

Lack of calcium if I remember correctly.

That’s what i thought too.

You may find that the nails are quite bendy and/or tear easily too.

its not calcium ts a bruise under your nail.., I did this on my course.

"If you notice white spots, also known as leukonychia, on your nails, they unlikely to have been caused by a vitamin or mineral deficiency. In a few cases, white spots on fingernails can indicate an underlying infection, but much more commonly, they are the result of injury. Similar to bruising, white spots on fingernails do not show up immediately. It may take several days or weeks before you notice the spots. Because they are generally the result of a minor injury, you are likely to have forgotten all about banging your fingernail against the car door."
