Patient's question:
Recently, I noticed white spots on my child's fingernails. There are two fingers, both in the middle of the fingers. I don't know if this is due to malnutrition or something else, or whether it could be due to roundworms in the child's stomach. Right now, I'm not sure about my child's health condition.Doctor's answer:
Many attentive parents have and about this condition of white spots appearing on their children's fingernails. Although there is no clear explanation for the mechanism of white spots on nails in medical science, in clinical practice, we have found that some children with calcium and zinc deficiencies exhibit this condition. It is recommended that you take your child to the hospital for a trace element examination to determine the cause and receive appropriate treatment.
