What do they actually mean?
It can't be a lack of calcium as I drink loads of milk!
Is it too much?
I've got loads of these white 'spodges' on my nails and I've never found out the true reason for them!
Enlighten me!

You actually have a five second memory? Or a brain shaped like a goldfish bowl?
In any case, if you knock your fingers or nails you will get those white markings, they can mean lack of dairy products but normally its just a simple knock that creates the marking.
I don't have any and my fingers go everywhere.
Strange really.....

Actually, I also have tiny little dents on my thumbnail, but no other nails. Someone please tell me what's wrong with me.
Nails are made out of hair.

I always thought it was Calcium deficiency, but I remember hearing the definitive answer on telly sometime, but forgetting. Damn dirty goldfish bowl brain.

You have an infestation of Madeupicus Digiticusella tics; a rare parasite that feasts on calcium rich finger nails. The only solution is to get a really big hammer, use it to hit someone over the head and by time you come out of prison they should be gone (you won't be having a rich diet inside).
Just call me Doc.

Look at this!

The hand is one of the more actively used body parts. We use our hands to eat, write, pick up things, and a multitude of other tasks. When my oldest nephew had surgery on his upper lip, my sister was told to try to have him keep his hands away from his mouth. She asked why and the doctor explained that hands are usually more prone to carrying of germs and dirt since our hands touch more than we may realize.
Since we do use our hands to perform a variety of everyday tasks, it stands to logical thought that we also abuse them. Some of the abuse may not be felt but later seen as a result of our hands - or fingernails - bumping into things.
The little white marks are actually a result of you 'bruising' that area. At first, if you look at your fingernails more closely, you may notice at times that there is a slightly red or darker 'spot' under the nail itself but visible through the nail. Over time, as the nail grows, you will notice that the spot - at least on the nail itself - turned white; whereas the original area under the nail is back to normal color since the bruise faded away naturally.
So, in actuality, the tally which the white spots are keeping track of is how many times we accidentally hit our fingernails against something just hard enough to create a bruise to a small area underneath them. Although some people confuse the spots as being old 'signs' of a past illness, the nails share that 'historical note' in another way: little grooves [not ridges] sometimes appear on the fingernails after you have a high fever or another ailment that 'zaps' your system. Recall that fingernails do not grow fast so this may be why we don't see that groove until after we have already recovered.
You will have to wait for the nail to grow out for the spots on them to fully disappear by filing or trimming the tips. However, the saying may have a child think twice about lying if believing their parents can know about that and how many times merely by looking at their hands ... until the child learns the truth that is.

That may be able to clear a few things up then!

I always thought it meant you had been ill, but I have no knowledge whatsoever to back that claim. I have one at the moment, on my thumb, but I haven't been ill recently. Who knows?
Ahhhhh.
I was always under the impression that they were somthing to do with high blood pressure or heart problems.
*checks fingernails*
No white marks today! I used to get scared when i had them before...used to run for miles to get my heart pumping properly like.

I know what you mean. :-)
It's usually put down to a lack of calcium, as you said - but it could be a deficiency in certain vitamins, too. I don't think it's anything to worry about, but you could always see a doctor.

Those white colourings you get over your nails!
If none of you are intelligent enough to know what I'm on about I'll have to scan a pic in but its basically a discolouring of the nails in random places...
