Is a small gray line a sign of nail fungus?

Patient's question:

Any symptoms, really not......about a year or so...Previous treatment and effectiveness: none!!!!!!!!!

Doctor's answer:

Your child has gray lines on their toe nails. Look at how smooth the surface of the nails is. If they are not smooth and there is no further expansion, it may be a lack of zinc and vitamins. Zinc is a very important trace element in the body, and a deficiency can easily lead to nail cracks, sharp points, and poor memory concentration. Vitamin deficiency can also cause harm to the nails. Children are in a growth phase and are prone to deficiencies in trace elements.
Suggestions: It is recommended to check for trace elements at a regular hospital to see if there is a lack of zinc and other substances. If there is a deficiency, supplement as soon as possible. This symptom does not resemble onychomycosis (fungal nail infection).
