I've always wondered about this. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Randomly white dots will appear on your fingernails, or below them I suppose... What in the world are they? How are they caused??

Hi, I've had these all my life and I dont bite my finger nails, and they aren't usually from injuries. the one thing I have found that will clear them up is if you take a daily Zinc supplement but it does take some time because they have to grow out.

It's not a vitamin loss or whatever. Not enough vitamins makes nails brittle and split. Your probably just banging your nails accidently on stuff which kinks the nail and causes the white spot/line. So thats it.

the white dots are brought about whilst your nail comes removed from the floor, I even have lots from banging my nails each and all of the time, and that i do no longer think of there is a thank you to do away with them. i would be incorrect nonetheless

can remember the proper name for them but your fingernail forms under the skin a bit and injuries there during formation cause the white spots.

They say it's a vitamin problem... it only happens to me if I bang my nail by accident... I think it's mostly because your nail gets weak, but that could be from nail polish too.

It's a vitamin deficiency--I'm not sure which vitamin though
