White spots on your fingernails are typically caused by some injury you may have incurred days to weeks ago (it can take up to 2 months for your nail to completely grow out from the nail bed). Often the injury is minor, so most people forget what happened by the time they see the spot(s).
It's not calcium, because your nails aren't made out of calcium. They're made out of a protein, called keratin.





Nails can become dry and flaky just like skin. Maybe your nails are dry and need to be moisturized.
