I Get These Little White Spots On My Finger Nails. Does Any One Know Why And What It Is Please Help?

People say these are because of a vitamin deficiency, however, in reality these are caused by trauma to the nail. They can be loosely compared to bruises on the skin.

In a few cases, white spots on fingernails can indicate an underlying infection, but much more commonly, they are the result of injury. Similar to bruising, white spots on fingernails do not show up immediately. It may take several days or weeks before you notice the spots. Because they are generally the result of a minor injury, you are likely to have forgotten all about banging your fingernail against the car door.
