Avatar f tn Look it up on the internet. Do you have white spots on your fingernails (zinc deficiency)? Many people need a gluten free diet to start absorbing zinc again. Look into it and see what rings a bell for you. Good luck and hope this helps!
Avatar n tn A zinc deficiency can cause white or light yellow spots on the fingernails.
Avatar f tn I have these white lines on my fingernails that run parallel to the cuticle. They have areas in the white line that are heavier and make the line look like a spot. They cover the nail in it's entirety. I have taken zinc for year now with no real change. I am concerned about taking too much zinc since it was removed from some dental products. My hypoyroidism is controlled with medication. I do not suffer trauma to my hands. I am 55 yes old and have had these for as long as I can remember.
Avatar n tn I get white spots in my fingernails. Its from hitting your nail on something. I think its like a "nail bruise". Do you think this could be it?
Avatar f tn I had a zinc taste test for free at my local pharmacy and it showed I had zinc deficiency. I think I might of had white spots on my nails. I had other symptoms like poor sense of smell and taste and night blindness.
Avatar f tn this has been seen in iron deficient patients on dialysis. White spotting in several nails, both hands may indicate a zinc deficiency. Changes also can occur from severe health problems that will show up months later as the nail grows out. If it is only one fingernail it is likely due to some activity or habit or injury like Trialanderror mentioned above. Stay Heathy, Eat well!
Avatar n tn The nail is all orange except for the cuticle. Other fingers on the same hand are now getting a hint of orange. Is there a home remedy for this or do I need to see an MD.?
Avatar f tn Zinc is the most probably culprit, and you could be out of balance in your calcium and magnesium. Could be a lack of calcium as well. But you really need to follow up on these medical questions doctors have raised with you, the answer may lie therein.

Avatar m tn White spots or marks can indicate low zinc or calcium. Nails that are thin and splitting can suggest magnesium, copper or essential fatty acid deficiency. These indications are not absolute but can provide some clues for malabsorption issues. Check your scalp and face. Dryness and dandruff in the scalp and hair areas can indicate that there is low omega-3 intake, depleted vitamin A, B-6, zinc, sulfur or inadequate protein intake in the diet.
2005895 tn?1327721790 White spots or bau syndrome on fingernails is a symptom of zink deficiancy. This went away after a couple of months with zink. But anything could trigger an attack even in healthy people. I can stop mine now by telling myself it is all in my head, haha, and then focus on something else to calm down. Logic helps. Im happy Tony Stark had anxiety attacs since it takes some of the stigma away and makes him a belivable character.
Avatar f tn ...even though I'm low on zinc too. Once my iron gets to normal levels (if it ever does) I can lower my doses of iron and then I'll be able to take iron in morning and zinc at night. Just so you know not to load up on zinc if your iron is low!

Avatar m tn I've had these weird marks on my stomach for awhile. They weren't serious, they were very small in numbers. For about a week now, the number of marks have increased dramatically, I'm not sure what it is. I almost never apply lotion to my stomach but is this a sign of dry skin? I have some pictures, the pictures are of my right side stomach, note: I am slightly overweight as said by my doctor. The pictures may be disturbing. http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/1975/036c0.
Avatar n tn I have deeep white stretch mark type marks on my lower back and upper buttocks and red pimples and bumps on those marks and on my mid-back.. i recently discovered small white bumps on my lower anus and a bigger bump on half way.. i am really worried what can the problem be?
Avatar f tn I got a stripe across each toenail at the cuticle around the time that I started tx. only 1 stripe on each and not white, but still a mark. The stripes on my big toes took a year to grow out. I am sure it was the tx. dointime.
Avatar f tn Posted in response to a similar thread so may be useful Have had these very itchy bumps on the upper surface of the foot, ankle and lower calf. Usually only in the winter months, but the most unusual symptom (along with some of the other posts) is that the itching occurs at night and has woken me on occasions. Sometimes the scratching will severe and cause surface abrasions. Also as biged44 describes, when the bumps stop itching the bumps fade to dark spots.
Avatar m tn Hi All, I have been experiencing moderate itching on my scrotum for the past couple of months, but never saw a rash on anything of that kind on it. A week ago I noticed an small area to the right side of the scrotum which has gone pale in color with skin flaking in the middle. And today it has been more visible. If you can look at the picture, there is a very small droplet forming on top it. It forms again even though I wipe it off. This is starting to seriously worry me.
Avatar n tn I'd be sure to drink a glass of water about two hours before bedtime and then poop right before going to bed, in hopes of clearing the passage until morning.
