I've always been somewhat baffled at why I get these white spot on the fingernails sometimes (on my index finger) At school, I've been told many variations of explanations, mainly from the 'traditional' side of things. Someone told me its due to calcium or vitamin deficiency and someone else told me it's because you're constipated. I find the latter very hard to believe.
In some cases perhaps it is contributed to calcium and vitamin deficiency but simply and more accurately, the cause of this white spot on your nails is due to any trauma to the nail base!
So do take care not to bum into anything if you want to avoid those unsightly white dots on your nails that ruins your otherwise nice and even looking nails. It takes approximately 8 months for your nail to grow from base to tip. Your fingernail also grows faster on your preferred hand meaning if you're a leftie, the nails on your left hand will grow faster, vice versa. Hope this has been slightly informative. Toodles.
