Children with white spots on the nail cover are generally considered to be related to trauma, malnutrition, fungal infections, etc., and need to be analyzed according to the symptoms.
1. Trauma: Nails are extruded by trauma, the local skin under the nail ischemia, which may lead to the appearance of white spots on the nail cover.
2. Malnutrition: white spots may appear on the nail cover due to partiality, picky eating, or poor digestive system, resulting in micronutrient deficiencies such as zinc and iron deficiencies.
3. Fungal infections: Fungal infections such as Candida albicans can easily lead to gray nails, resulting in symptoms such as nail discoloration, atrophy, and shedding, and white spots can appear on the nail cover.
There may be other reasons for white spots on children’s fingernails, so parents are advised to take their children to the hospital in time to find out the cause and follow the doctor’s instructions for standardized treatment.
