Some of my finger nails have what look like white lines in them going from the bottom of the nail to the top...What could cause this?

I heard that it could be that you're not getting enough of some vitamin I dont know which one it is. But I'm preety sure it, is that. Just a little extra in my answer. When I was in elementary school through middle school kids used to say that how ever many white lines you got on your fingernails was how many people had a crush on you. Its kind of cool to remember small childhood things.

I learned in Cosmetology school that these little white spots/lines could be calcium deficiencies or possibly some type of a fungus. I would check with your doctor to be certain.

It could be nothing, but sometimes it can indicate vitamin deficiencies, anemia or other health issues. Might want to call the doctor just to be sure.

I heard it's a bruise. I get those too, but most of the time they will go away.

I think they have something to do with having too much or too little calcium.
