Therapist Dr. Karan Rangarajan has debunked a common myth about the cause of white spots on the nails.

Causes of White Spots on Nails

According to the doctor, the appearance of white spots on the nails is not a sign of any health problems in the body. Rather, it indicates a lack of vitamin D or calcium deficiency in the body, or appears due to a light blow to the nail.

“The impact prevents the keratin-containing cells of the nail from properly connecting to each other,” he says. “Because nails grow slowly, the damage from the impact will not be noticeable until after six weeks.”

It adds white spots to the nails, which can appear even during a manicure. And the only way to get rid of them is to wait until the nail grows back.
