well the white mark on the bottom (where it starts) is live skin the whole rest of the nail is dead skin you can cut off the dead skin but if you cut the white part it will hurt/bleed like hell.

The white spots are caused by a calcium deficency.
You need a good liquid mineral supplement containing
calcium and other minerals.
Here are some Quick Hand and Nail Tips
• Flaky skin - Mix 1 cup of boiling water with 1/2 cup of bran
and let cool.Immerse hands into mixture and massage into
hands. Rinse with warm water and follow with a hand moisturizer.
• To Quickly dry fingernail polish, dip your nails in ice water.
The polish will harden much faster

• Acrylic nails - Almond oil will stop acrylic nails from dehydrating
and coming away from the nail plate.
*~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~*
• Help for nails that won't grow--Mix 1 packet unflavored gelatin
with 1 tablespoon almond oil. Store in an airtight container
room temperature. Massage into nails daily to help grow them
long and strong.
*~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~*
• Rough cuticles - Wet fingertips with water and dip them into
cornmeal. Massage and rinse with tepid water. Buff nails with
a nail brush while rinsing to make sure you remove all the
cornmeal. Dry thoroughly and apply hand cream.
*~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~*
• For brittle nails, Once a week, apply almond oil to nails and
hands, cover with socks or gloves and wear them overnight.
*~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~*
• Discolored fingernails - Dissolve a tablet of denture cleanser
in warm water and soak fingers until the stains disappear.
*~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~*
• Discolored nails - Whiten your nails by mixing 1 tablespoon
hydrogen peroxide with 3 tablespoons baking soda. Apply to nails
(underneath and over tops) with a cotton swab. Leave on for 3-5
minutes then rise with warm water. Apply hand lotion.
*~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~*
• To strengthen and shine nails, combine 2 teaspoons of salt, 2
teaspoons castor oil, and 1 teaspoons wheat germ oil and mix
thoroughly. Pour into a bottle. Shake before using. To use, rub a
small amount into your nails. Leave on 3-5 minutes and
tissue off. Follow up with more plain castor oil, if desired

I think it's called hypercalcification. I remember slamming my thumb in the door once (ow!) and the same thing happened. Nails are mostly made of keratin, though.

They are calcium deposits that build up in the process of nail production.

It is either cuticle meaning skine around the part where the nail starts or it is dented.
