Myth and truth - white spots

1. Myth: White spots on the nailplate means vitamin deficiency

The truth: White spots, which calls Leukonychia patches, people correlate with the deficiency of calcium and other vitamins. The appearance of the patches is not linked to the deprivations of vitamins and minerals however. What causes them? These white spots are fresh nail cells that could not finish the flatten process. A trauma, improper manicuring may cause it, or usually damaged nail plate.

The lunula is more white, than the other parts of the nailplate. This is because of that, new nail cells did not finish the keratinization yet. The cells are full of an intercellular space liquid, which leaves in the course of the process, yet, the cell walls create the transparent nailplate disk with a layered construction being pressed to each other tightly.
