      there are 3 more reasons
      1 of them is regular use of nail polish.

      Same. My doctor did a blood panel because of mine 💀 Too be fair I had multiple deficiencies. I had to go on quite a few vitamins and new meds. I eventually received new diagnosis (I had multiple autoimmune already) Potassium & VitD was so low I had to get an IV. My GP believing something untrue Really helped me out I guess!

    Actually, in my case it really was zinc deficiency. I didn’t get any trauma to the nails. As soon as I started taking appropriate supplements and adjusted my nutrition, the white spots went away. I’ve had this problem practically all my life and the deficiency is just how I am.

    I had white spots on my nails for my entire childhood up to my 20's and I ate crappy, processed, high carb, high sugar foods the whole time.
    I cleaned up my diet and they went away. I recently went through some depression that led me to eating crappy food for a solid month and the spots are back.
    So you could be right, white spots could be damage to the nail. But there's DEFINITELY truth in the fact that they also are signs of nutrient deficiency.

Left me suffering in pain for over a year. Got a new Dr recently. She immediately put me through tests and diagnosed my "fat" as ovarian cysts. The pain and swelling over 1 year+? Cysts forming and bursting from stress. My right ovary is covered. Another fun fact, I have to text to make sure they aren't cancerous due to cancer being genetic.
