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.
no drink more milk it's quite the opposite and dont peel them off you will get more
having small pale dots underneath the fingernails can be caused by two things. First it is a rare disiease called repatitus. second if you mom was chinese and your dad was mexican it can be a gene transmit.
The medical term for that is ';leukonychia'; and it could be due to a number of things. See link below for possible causes :

So i have stepped on a few rusted nails about 3 days ago it really hurts and ice and such doesnt seem to work?

please let me know if you have any suggestions.. thanksSo i have stepped on a few rusted nails about 3 days ago it really hurts and ice and such doesnt seem to work?
Well you probably should go to your regular doctor and get it checked out chances are you probably will need a tetnis shot, and I would suggest going immediately before it gets any worse!So i have stepped on a few rusted nails about 3 days ago it really hurts and ice and such doesnt seem to work?
First things first, make sure you have had a tetanus shot within the past 10 years. If not, that should be your first priority.


Secondly, put some Polysporine and a bandaid on it to help fight infection.
Doctor?





Next time wear shoes -coughs-hillbilly-coughs- ;D
You need a Tetna shot. xO

What does it mean when you have white spots under your nails....i have alot of little spots on my fingernails

Your entire visible fingernail is dead, matter of fact. The live part of it, the matrix- is located behind the cuticle, out of sight for the most part. If you look at the nail base of your thumb, you can catch a glimpse of it- that's the whitish crescent you see there. The white spot on your nail is the result of an injury to the nail while it was being formed most often- a bang or something you didn't even notice much. But it was enough to separate the little cells a bit, create a tiny gap in the nail that was being formed at the time. You can also do the same thing to the nail after it grows out to where you can see it. The injury doesn't have to be major- just enough to split apart a bit of the layers that make up your nail. Now, since you were able to peel off a bit of the nail itself, you actually thinned out and damaged the nail even more. It's thinner in that spot now, and more likely to be injured or split more when it grows out closer to the tip. You might also have a problem with thin nails if you tend to keep them coated with nail polish or have acrylic nails put on. The chemicals in those, as well as the chemicals used to take it all off, remove some of the nail and damage other spots. And your nail bed doesn't breathe well through all that stuff either. That can set you up for a nasty fungus infection, and those are hard to get rid of sometimes. Without actually seeing the overall condition of all your nails, it's hard to say exactly what has put the spots on your nails- but injury and chemicals are the leading culprits. It's not from eating too much calcium, though. Matter of fact, not enough calcium would be more likely, that and protein are what make up the nails. They are specialized extension of bone, made up of pretty much the same stuff. If yours are weakly, thin and easy broken, you can adjust the diet to provide more of both calcium and protein to improve matters. The oldest trick is to drink soluble gelatine- jello or knox gelatine either one will do. It takes a bit for it to show improvement, as nails take a while to grow with the added bennies, but within a couple months you should see it.What does it mean when you have white spots under your nails....i have alot of little spots on my fingernails
Not enough propper nutrition. Taking a daily vitamin should help this, over a little bit of time that is. Cannot expect anything in a day. Also, drinking more milk, or adding milk to your diet will help too. Good luck! Used to have same problem, and doctor said this helped.
vitamin deficiency


or fungus
It is brittle nails and it can also be a bruised nail when you bruise your nail it leaves a white mark on your nail .and if the white mark peels it just means you have brittle nails you can get a clear nail polish and use as directed
I think I heard that it was lack of calcium... I'm probably wrong though, so don't trust me.
some people say it is mean you are going to get some gifts!
Too much ? I heard that they were caused by eating too little calcium.





And there is the old wives tail that they are caused by telling lies. . . .
not enough calcium
In most cases this is due to a zinc deficiency or injuries to the nail bed. It can however also be indicative of certain internal problems such as arthritis, or from poisoning.
I think it's from calcium deficiency.

nails (like hair) love moisture. use lotion on them. it's really good for your nails.


also look for nail strengthening products.


take some vitamin E. it's great for hair, nails, and skin.I have recently had solar nails removed and it ruined my real nails any fix it's ?
Use a ridge filler and keep a strengthener on them; also, use a buffer first. Basically, you just have to wait for them to grow back out.
