everyone says its lack of calcium, but thats just not true, if he has quite poor circulation and bruises/scars easily then if he was to bang his hands, fingers on anything this causes the little white marks, spesh if he drums his fingers alot etc

Contrary to what people think, white spots under your nails are not due to a calcium deficiency but a zinc deficiency - why not give him a balance multi vitamin daily?

It could be anything from mineral (ec iron or zinc) deficiencies to fungus infection of the nail bed. It is hard to find out what it is just from the information given, even a doctor need to see it to find out what is the cause.
So i do believe you should see your physician to get more advice

Lack of calcium.
It depends on how old your son is, try some calcium tablets or talk to your doctor. Try to supplement his diet with more food with calcium.

Ask your GP. He/She will have a better idea than some spotty 15 year old on here. If I had to guess I would say his diet is short on calcium. You are a mother O.M.G
