Hurt your finger a few days ago, and you’re now looking at white stripes and dots on the affected nail? Then the cause of your nail symptom is clear: recent trauma. But if you haven’t been in any minor accidents lately and you haven’t been using acetone weekly on repeat, then you should know that white spots or lines on your nails can indicate a deficiency in Calcium, as well as Zinc or even protein. A healthy diet will surely improve your symptoms, in case you are indeed suffering with a mineral deficiency.
