Leukonychia explained
There are two types of leukonychia:
True leukonychia: This occurs when the white spots or streaks are located in the nail plate itself, and it can be caused by injury to the nail, nutritional deficiencies, or certain medications.
Apparent leukonychia: This occurs when the white spots or streaks are caused by something on the surface of the nail, such as nail polish, air bubbles, or other cosmetic products. This type of leukonychia usually disappears after the nail grows out.
In most cases, leukonychia does not require any treatment and will go away on its own. However, if the condition is persistent or accompanied by other symptoms, it is important to seek medical advice from a doctor or dermatologist.
