what do white spots on the nails indicate
Leukonychia Leukonychia (or leuconychia), also known as white nails or milk spots,[1] is a medical term for white discolouration appearing on nails.[2]:658â€“9 It is derived from the Greek words leuko ("white") and nychia ("nails"). The most common cause is injury to the base of the nail (the matrix) where the nail is formed.
Shades of white Colors often considered "shades of white" include cream, eggshell, ivory, Navajo white, and vanilla. Even the lighting of a room, however, can cause a pure white to be perceived as off-white.[1]
