What is recommended when a child (age 11)who appears to be very healthy has

a lot of white spots on his fingernails? I understand the white spots shows

a nutritional deficiency.

Thanks,

Lynn

 

Lynn,

According to my book " Dr. Chi's Guide to Fingernail & tongue Diagnosis "

White spots on the fingernails of men, women and children may have to do

with kidney and hormonal imbalances. Zinc & Calcium deficiencies are also

possible. In children and adolescents, this may be due to developmental

changes or hormonal changes that occur in the normal growth stages.

Hope this helps a bit.

blessings, Marlene
