Dr Karan - What Are White Spots on Finger Nails?

[@aleema-i1l]

Unfortunate news, these have been with me for my whole entire life

[@thebonfiree]

there are 3 more reasons 1 of them is regular use of nail polish.

[@yhh850]

Same

[@a.a.erd.977]

Same. My doctor did a blood panel because of mine 💀 Too be fair I had multiple deficiencies. I had to go on quite a few vitamins and new meds. I eventually received new diagnosis (I had multiple autoimmune already) Potassium & VitD was so low I had to get an IV. My GP believing something untrue Really helped me out I guess!

[@thenegotiator7243]

Same I have like 20

[@lauratshabalala7210]

​@@thebonfiree what are the other two? I never use nail polish

[@djcys_6435]

Filipino kids be like: "So you have 2 white spots? Then you have 2 admirers."

[@Rogue5490]

Damn I have 23 lmao

[@djcys_6435]

[@maxmayfield7097]

I have 1 😂

[@isabellas2swag]

[@Sylvantess]

Actually, in my case it really was zinc deficiency. I didn’t get any trauma to the nails. As soon as I started taking appropriate supplements and adjusted my nutrition, the white spots went away. I’ve had this problem practically all my life and the deficiency is just how I am.

[@jazyberry9615]

Exactly, the same for me.

[@dilipchauhan7101]

Doctor usually change their opinion very often, i think it is deficiency ur true brother

[@EM-fz3hf]

I never injured my nails. But I have been using the most intense version of acetone nail polish remover and have worn nail polish constantly for the last several months. I think that's what it is because it's covering literally all my nails. I'm deciding to take a break from the acetone and nail polish to see if anything changes. Never had this problem until now.

[@tabora_]

Well acetone literally eats at your nails..... they're probably thin af, and I would highly recommend taking a big break from painting your nails.

[@DarcyMiyamoto]

You literally described yourself damaging your nail.

[@tsrenis]

bro just use normal nail polish remover

[@paris.dawxnderful]

use jojoba oil to hydrate ur nails and cuticles! ur nails get very dry after using acetone so use an alternative like peel off base

[@flintfrommother3gaming]

After some point of using these very concantrated acetone oftenly, you might lose your nails altogether so, don't do it man.

[@Sans-Under_tale0]

My grandmother: "if you have 1 white spot, then you will have 1 gift"

[@Balgeta]

In here, it is believed that when you get that white spot and it moves and disappears, you'll get a new gift from either your parents or anyone.

[@wonylvrr12]

same I've been told that all my life and i believed it lol

[@peterdefrankrijker]

I’m very happy that you chose to debunk that old zinc deficiency malarkey.

[@famguy1985]

It's true if you have them without injury

[@jessicagross3008]

Huh, I've had these before. Never really thought about them before.🤔

[@user-pn6jo5oq3d]

Same

[@dare1997]

its literally because of zinc deficiency

[@user-sz6rw2mv7z]

nope

[@houriahammouta5079]

This amazing. I'm always told that they're a sign of zinc deficiency and I believed it because of my chronic fatigue.

[@rifaaquidah1676]

Oh well I have this because I scraped the wall and it’s still in my nail to this day😅😂

[@elliotskjelmose7887]

THANK YOU! I eat well but I have white spots and I thought I had defficenty and I bite my nails

[@fliegerfaust9099]

I’ve had these my whole life and I don’t regularly impact my nails

[@chucknutly3290]

Yes but I sneak out at night to snack on your leftovers and I like to chew on your nails while you're asleep so that's probably why.

[@sk1dzzz608]

[@enk335]

I don't want mine to go away, I've grown to love it

[@twinkletoe306]

Thank you I was super worried about it

[@davidmiljkovic4509]

My nails grow super fast. I'd say faster than my hair. So for me it takes 2-3 weeks for the white spot to grow enough for me to clip

I removed slamming the door as hard as I can before on my self…

[@drdriplord6888]

I’ve had mine for years 😂

[@Lovely_quit]

Where i live we just assume that if we have white spots on our nails we think we will get what we want so we purposely say we want many things lol Edit: The reason we believe this is because every time we get these spots we actually get what we want! And it disappears after we get something we want

[@TomCasey]

Always get these on my right hand when playing guitar without a pick.

[@z115zt7]

ayyyy is that Runaway in the background lol

[@everythingsfinett3903]

I got mine for no reason, no impact to the nail it’s just there. It looks cute tho, two perfectly round dots. Btw does anyone know anything about purple nails? Mine are bluish purple and sometimes get darker

[@Lina10857]

My toe nails were bluish purple after wearing tight shoes and Both of my toe nails literally ripped apart a year ago and I had to wait a whole year to grow them again… I think your nails are getting an infection, maybe try asking a doctor

[@AmarachiJacinth]

As a Nigerian, the ONLY way I believe this forms is by waving my fingers at seagulls and singing, "Leke Leke, give me five fingers". Then if you want them gone, you sing to them, "Leke, Leke. Remove my five fingers." It works! - like a gem! 😂✨

[@N1XHL]

What?!

[@AmarachiJacinth]

I am from India and my mother also says the same thing.😁😁

[@zandygonzalez015]

Thank you for telling me I’m not gonna bite my nails anymore😂💀

[@danielleduford1766]

Your nails do tell you a lot about your health. Don’t listen to him, or do what you want and stay sick

[@mansisuman6469]

Yeah, nails do tell about health. He didn't tell the all thing. when white spots appears only 1-2 nails, means you just hit something. But when it appears 4-5 fingers or all it means you have health issues.

[@pinkylemonn]

​@@mansisuman6469 dr berg in his video said its bcoz of eat to much sugar, idk whos right

[@suminaoshinjo6545]

I always slap with the back of my hand, no wonder I see these spots sometimes

[@milsob]

Slap who? 🤨

[@strxwberry06]

Weird news, I’ve had this one white spot on the finger I randomly bite when I’m anxious for 4 years. *i cant stop.* *i dont think I can stop.*

[@cosmicspear1734]

I was so panicked for a while, thanks for clarifying!

[@Totaly14]

ahh I’m a life long chronic nail biter and I get these from time to time, lol that makes more sense than a zinc deficiency

[@takioffneisnormallife]

they said that "if you had these, that means you didn't really a big eater"

[@CasualCasimir]

It’s funny, because you said that in one of your videos about the white in your nails, being a sign of zinc deficiency. But I’m glad you’re corrected yourself now Doctor

[@UrBunsCousinsPlayRBLX]

I THOUGHT IS WAS SOAP 💀😭💀😭

As a Bass player, I get these all of the time.

I got them, (prob from nail chewing/biting) and they aren't a problem at all so that's nice

I have one and it's been there as long as I can remember

I already have this white thing. It’s kinda weird, but it’s going to work when we grow up.

[@ColinsCity]

when he said car door my fingers really felt that lol

[@Bishop88_]

Had these spots my whole life and never done any of the stuff this guy listed as the cause. It must be my crushes lol

[@RAGING_BONER]

I had a huge one on my pointer finger, and I’ve watched it for months slowly make its way to the tip of my finger. I woke up today to see it’s almost gone. And I decided to look up what it actually was

[@Smuckular]

Exact same situation as me lmfao

[@Seka102]

I have one and I've had it since I was 6 and now I'm 12 And it doesn't go away

[@V0dCuh]

I got them when I was 4 and I am 14 now and still have them

[@marlenegold280]

Changed my diet, no more white spots on nails.

[@Verbal27]

Can you explain how you changed your diet towards?

[@turtletehee]

you fool i have 18 of them for years and I AM STILL LIVING! i am immortal

[@Beensup]

Ah. That makes sense. I have this white spot on 7 of my nails, but I take marshal arts, and I used to wrestle.

[@Springboi101]

I was born with them man and they never went away

[@yxamv7296]

Thx i was really afraid it would have dangerous consequences

[@JR-John3.16]

I had white spots on my nails for my entire childhood up to my 20's and I ate crappy, processed, high carb, high sugar foods the whole time. I cleaned up my diet and they went away. I recently went through some depression that led me to eating crappy food for a solid month and the spots are back. So you could be right, white spots could be damage to the nail. But there's DEFINITELY truth in the fact that they also are signs of nutrient deficiency.

[@BlameMeLaughHard]

These are on almost all of my nails, I got into an addiction of biting my nails when I was younger, about 4

[@piratethehybrid]

I get those spots all the time even when I don't hurt my nails

[@frederikvater]

I used to have this all the time when I was a kid

[@tapasibhattacharjee1123]

"Chew your nails" No, I bite😂

You were the one who told us it’s because of zink deficiency in another video bro

[@pritishthakur208]

Uk i discovered this when i was in karate classes. Whenever i hit my hand (the back side ), it caused these white spots . After that just to try it once more ,to test it, i hut my nail hard on the corner of the bench ,and it worked (it did hurt but anything for science !)

[@bismarckrathod5890]

I had ton of them when I was a kid but now none
