White spots and flaking on your toenails sounds like toenail fungus to me. This is an extremely difficult fungus to treat sometimes. There are over-the-counter medications you can buy, and that's where I would start if I were you. These medications are liquids that you paint into the affected nails kind of like nail polish. If they don't seem to do the trick, see your doctor for a prescription anti-fungal (which should be a last resort as anti-fungal medications can have some pretty bad side effects).
Incidentally, it's a myth that white spots on nails are caused by a calcium deficiency. If you JUST had white spots, it would be more likely they were caused by trauma to the nail (a whack on the nailbed or an aggressive manicure, e.g.). But flaking is definitely a symptom of nail fungus, and I'm pretty sure that's what you are dealing with, unfortunately! Good luck!

well i don't know what the heck that monster is doing in your nail....but i can get rid of the monster for you is you lesson to my answer. 1)you need a towel, butcher knife, vodka, a sandwich bag, (if you don't like blood you might need a friend to to this), and a crazy glue. 2) use the butcher's knife and cut above the the toe's nail.(this will free the monster and than he will be able to kill it. 3) use your fingers to remove the dead monster and store it in a bag. 4) now use the vodka and pore it into the monsters home.(this will hurt more than being shot in the arm and poring hot acid into it.) 5) use the crazy glue onto the first cut you made. 6) now to really make sure that another monster find's it's way to a free home you need to cut right on the joint of the bone and cut all the way down.(at this point you wont have a toe if you want one you can make one) 7) to make a toe you need: 5 paper clips, tape, a golf ball and more vodka. 8) use the paper clips and bend them to make a hollow toe. 9) put the golf ball in to the hollow toe. 10) use the tape(duck tape) and tape up the new toe. 11) place the toe into place 12) crazy glue the toe into place then your done.

i have heard that a calcium deficiency can cause white to appear on fingernails, but i'm not sure about toenails. Try drinking more milk and eating cheese?

Maybe you gave you're toenail a bonk! Did something fall on it?
It might just grow out when the nail gets longer.

It's most likely the beganningof a fungus infection. You sssshould see a doctor for treatment.
If not try soaking with elpson salts in hot water or hot water with a small amount of bleach and salt.

spots could be a deficiency of some kind or a fungus. If they're lines then it could be heavy metal poisoning. If your worried about it have someone check it out.

You are obviously possessed by a demon, you need an exorcism or your entire body will turn into a giant flaking white spot.

I agree with Axel on this one, this sounds like the work of demons. Drink lots of holy water as a temporary solution but find an exorcist as soon as possible.
