A lot of people ask me about these "white spots" that appear on their nails. Well for all of you wanting to know, it's a nail condition called leukonychia (leu-ko-nych-i-a), in which white spots or patches appear on the nails. There are many reasons in which this happens such as air bubbles that form between the nail and the nail bed, a bruise or another injury to the nail, zinc deficiency or an incomplete hardening of the nail, all which means that these areas are not adhering to the nail bed. It cannot be corrected nor can you just buff it away, but it will grow out. If you don't like the look of it, wearing nail polish is a simple fix in covering them until it's grown out.
