Patient's question:
Nails with small dents and white spots, do I need to go to the hospital for treatment? How long will it take to improve? Please help me!Doctor's answer:
Hello: White spots on the whiteboard, linear white spots, or complete whitening are often associated with trauma, infection, anemia, nutritional deficiencies, arsenic poisoning, parasites, and certain systemic diseases, or they can be inherited genetically. Iron deficiency should be supplemented with iron, parasites should be treated with deworming medication, and nutrition should be increased, such as milk, eggs, and high-quality protein. This may be due to calcium deficiency, so calcium can be moderately supplemented, and foods rich in calcium should be consumed more, such as soy products, dairy products, bone soup, etc. MSG should be used less to avoid affecting calcium absorption, and more sun exposure is beneficial for calcium absorption.
