I asked my mom, because I have them too and it is a calcium deposit in your nails caused by what you eat. Its absolutely healthy!

They can also be from injuring your finger in a location where it would also affect the nail-bed.

It is not from lack of calcium, it's from lack of Zinc. Zinc is relatively safe and non-toxic so sensible levels of supplementation should do you no harm. They could even be from a puncture to the nail from a while back, and since it takes the nail a while to grow, a blemish can appear on the nail without any memory of hitting it. White marks on your nails that are more linear could be a sign of a fungal infection. Gyms and nail salons are hotbeds for fungus and yeast, and are common places for contracting infections. These infections attack your nail directly, causing discoloration and even separation from the nailbed. If you suspect that's the cause for the white, you should probably see a dermatologist about a culture sample and diagnosis.

it means you arent getting enough calcium and zinc.
sometimes it means you have a fungul infection but its highly unlikely.
