What is Leukonychia?
It is whitening of the nail plate. For some people, the white spots may appear as tiny dots speckled across the nail. For others, the white spots may be larger and stretch across the entire nail. The spots may affect one nail or several. This is a very common issue and entirely harmless.
Cause
It can be due to mainly nail injury.
Management
- Leave it alone to heal because as the nail grows, the damage will move up the nail bed and overtime they will disappear
- If the discoloration is troublesome, you can apply nail polish to cover it up
