What's going on with white spots on my baby's fingers?

Every baby is very cute, and parents are particularly concerned about every little thing about their baby. At this time, if there is something wrong with the child, parents will always be very worried. For example, if white spots appear on the baby's fingers, parents will feel like some serious illness is about to happen. In fact, this is quite common. So what is the reason?

White spots or mica-like spots on the nails indicate a lack of trace elements such as calcium and silicon, and the presence of parasites. Such people are prone to nervousness, irritability, and habitual constipation. White spots or floc-like white spots on the nails may be caused by zinc deficiency, gastrointestinal disease, or anemia. A rough, dull face with grooves, vertical stripes, white spots, and an abnormal proportion of health circles is often a sign of poor physical condition.

White spots on the nails are very common and usually recur. Some people say that this is a sign of poor gastrointestinal function, but this has no medical basis. Because of long-term exposure to the outside, nails are easily damaged. For example, fingers get stuck in door cracks, nails are squeezed or collided, etc., which causes damage to the nail matrix cells at the root of the nails during production, resulting in white spots. If the nail bed is damaged, splinter-like bleeding will occur under the nails. Don't worry though, as the nail grows upwards it will eventually be trimmed off.

Although there is no clear medical explanation for white spots on the nails, we have found in clinical work that some children with calcium and zinc deficiency will experience this condition. It is recommended that you take your child to the hospital for trace element examination, determine the cause of the disease, and carry out appropriate treatment. The baby's nails are pink, smooth and shiny in appearance, the lunula is slightly lighter in color, and there are no barbs on the nail contour.

This is the reason why white spots appear on the baby's fingers, so parents don't need to make too much of a fuss at this time, as this will have certain side effects on the child's physical growth. We should maintain a good attitude, which is more beneficial to the child's physical and mental development and makes the child happy.
