Leuconychia : All it means is you have damaged your nail somehow. Like before it came from under the skin or after. If you have been moving or doing something to bump them. Sounds crazy but it is true. Leuconychia is just a tiny bubble under the nail that will disappear soon as your nail grows out.

They are calcium deposits that are nothing to worry about. Your body/bones dont use all the calcium you take in so it has no place to put it except deposit it on your nails.
Sometimes marks can mean that you are not getting enough of a certain vitamin. If you drink lots of milk then its calcium deposits. If you have recently changed your diet and you started getting them then you may be lacking a certain vitamin/mineral.

Nothing to worry about. Since i was a child parents and docs told me if those white marks ever appear it is easy to know you lacking vitamins. Just get some multivitamins and try to eat healthy.

I think they indicate a lack of a particular vitamin or mineral. Nothing to be much worried about - ask an RN or your Dr.

They are caused by a vitamin deficiency. Have you been eating poorly or changed your diet? Take vitamin supplements.
