POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy7 months agoA. White lines or spots on a child's nails can be due to several reasons:
Possible Causes
Nutritional Deficiency
Zinc, calcium, or protein deficiency can cause white lines on nails. Solution: Ensure a balanced diet with dairy products, green veggies, nuts, and protein-rich foods.
Minor Injuries or Trauma
If your child plays actively, small injuries to the nail bed can cause white marks. Solution: No treatment is needed; they will grow out naturally.
Frequent Nail Biting or Pressure
Biting nails or pressing them too much can lead to these marks. Solution: Discourage nail biting and keep nails trimmed.
Fungal or Bacterial Infection
If the nails look brittle, thickened, or have white patches, it could be an infection. Solution: A doctor may prescribe antifungal treatment.
Allergic Reaction or Chemical Exposure
Frequent use of harsh soaps, sanitizers, or detergents can cause white spots. Solution: Use mild baby-friendly soaps and moisturize hands. When to See a Doctor? If white lines spread on multiple nails. If nails look weak, brittle, or change shape. If your child has fatigue, frequent infections, or hair loss, as this may indicate a deficiency.
