Apa tanda putih pada kuku ni?
Last week punya entry pasal pindah opis kan? So, entry hari ni susulan dari pindah opis yang saya beri tajuk agak menarik buat sesiapa yang mementingkan kebersihan & kecantikan.
I finally finished unwrapped all the boxes in my office. As I have settled everything & sat on my desk, I notice something on my fingernail. I try to scrub it off and realize the little white dots are not paint; they're actually part of my nail.
I show the spots to my officemate and she says it could mean you have a calcium deficiency. Or wait, is it zinc? It's definitely some sort of nutritional deficit, of that she's certain.
Memang selalu kejadian yang orang selalu sebut sebagai “bunga kuku” ni akan dikaitkan dengan kekurangan kalsium. Tapi betul ke? So what are these white spots and how'd you get them?
One of the most common causes for these little white spots, which can show up on both fingernails and toenails, is a condition called leukonychia [source: Tuzun and Karakus]. Although the name sounds pretty serious, the condition typically isn't. And while many people think they're caused by a calcium or zinc deficiency, that's generally not the case [sources: Sound Medicine, Weil].
In reality, these spots most often develop as a result of mild to moderate trauma to your nail. If you can't think of anything that would have injured your nail, consider the fact that nails grow very slowly, so the injury may have occurred weeks before the spots ever appeared [source: WebMD]. Another possibility is that the spots could be a sign of a mild infection or allergy, or a side effect of certain medications [source: Weil].
Whatever the source of the injury, these spots typically do not require any treatment and should go away as your nail grows out. And they should not return unless you suffer another nail trauma [source: Weil]. However, this generally applies when only a single or a few nails are affected. If all of your nails are showing white spots or streaks, the leukonychia could be related to another more serious condition such as anemia, cardiac disease, cirrhosis, diabetes or kidney disease [source: Bryant]. Overall, it's good practice to pay attention to changes and abnormalities in your fingernails and to consult your doctor if you're concerned.
Eventually, I may summarize my today findings. It is concluded that this condition isn’t caused by a calcium or zinc deficiency.
