Question
What should I do if my baby’s nails have white spots?
Answer
From a clinical perspective, white spots or marks on the nails can have three possible causes: first, if there are frequent abdominal pain symptoms, it may be due to worms; second, poor digestion; third, a deficiency of certain trace elements. Therefore, it is recommended to first go to a regular hospital for a check-up and then receive treatment accordingly. Excessive white spots on the nails may be a sign of neurasthenia, yellowish dots may indicate digestive system diseases, and small granules on the nails may suggest drug poisoning or the presence of parasites. White spots or mottling on the nails may indicate a deficiency of calcium, silicon, and other trace elements, and such individuals are prone to allergies, anxiety, and chronic constipation.
