A small white spot that shows no raising or different texture is the sign of an old mild injury to the nailbed.
A white patch that is raised and has some sort of texture is usually fungus infection within the nail.

I've heard it can be a lack of calcium deficiency or if you have knocked or damaged them also leaves white marks until the nail grows out.
Hope this helps.

Apparently it's an indicator of a lack of important vitamins and minerals in your system...The nails are dead cells so they are sort of a picture of what has been going on in your system the weeks prior to the growth.

It means a lack of Zinc in your diet, not calcium as most people say on here!

Those are areas where you've hit or put pressure on your nail. It is the equivalent of a bruise on your skin. It's no big deal, they just grow out with the nail.

white patches on nails indicate that you are suffering from pinworm infection.
