Is it because there are roundworms in your stomach that you have white spots on your nails?

It is not roundworms, generally with white spots, and is deficient in trace elements, especially calcium. Of course, white spots on your fingernails can also be traumatic (such as being squeezed through a door or smashed with a hammer) and will disappear naturally within a few weeks.

Hints of nails on the condition of the body:

White nails: Chronic anemia or liver or kidney problems.

White patches: Lack of zinc, which can be supplemented by seafood, spinach, mushrooms, cereals, sunflower seeds, etc.

Prone to breakage: Lack of iron, can be supplemented by dark green leafy vegetables, fish, legumes, cereals, etc.

Yellow nails: Lack of vitamin E may also be a problem with the lymphatic system or respiratory system. Vitamin E can be obtained from dark green vegetables and fruits.

Bumpiness: If there are still stripes, it may be that the liver is not good.

It's a lack of vitamins, malnutrition, you go to the doctor, if you have cramps, it's a lack of calcium, then buy calcium tablets and cod liver oil and others

No, it has nothing to do with bugs.

Nails are actually formed by the stromal keratinization of the nail roots, and since the nail roots are constantly metabolized to produce new nails, we need to trim the extra parts from time to time. And when these stromal cells can't keratinize properly, they will still be "pushed" to the front by the new nails at the back, which is what we commonly see as white spots.

This kind of white spot has a medical term called "punctate leukonychia", which is a type of leukonychia. Despite the scary name, these small white spots are in most cases caused by damage to the nail roots, such as Qigao's nails being caught in a door, being hit by a hammer, etc., and sometimes eating hands and cutting nails can also cause minor damage. Therefore, no matter how much you take the insecticide and supplement the calcium, there will still be this seepage in the white spots.

The small white spots on the baby's nails generally have no correspondence with roundworms. Because babies are often active, they will use their hands to pick things, explore and play. Then the baby's nails will be bumped or scratched, and there will be small white spots on the nails.

As the nail grows, it will be fine after it is cut off.

However, if parents find that the small white spots on the baby's nails do not grow upward, they should consider whether the baby has a lack of vitamins and can go to the hospital to consult a doctor.

Is white spots on nails a lack of trace elements?

Zinc deficiency. Babies with zinc deficiency are prone to pica, such as gnawing on their nails.

In this way, it is easy to cause the trauma we mentioned above, and white spots will appear on the nails.

Babies with zinc deficiency often have symptoms such as decreased digestive system function, delayed growth and development, reduced immune function, delayed mental development, dermatitis, and roughness, which cannot be judged by white spots on their nails alone.

Anaemia. The most common type of baby is iron deficiency anemia, which is thin, fragile, and even spoon-shaped nails. Because the nails are thin and brittle, they can easily get hurt, and white spots will also appear.

Ancylostomiasis. Adult hookworms can cause hemorrhagic anemia, appearing with pale mucous membranes and nail beds, which can be confused with white nail spots.

Some complications of these conditions can cause white spots on the nails, but they are often accompanied by other symptoms.

Is white spots on your nails a roundworm in your stomach?

In general, most of the eggs are attached to food or soil, and babies may only have symptoms of roundworms when they eat food with eggs or come into contact with soil with eggs.

However, in today's nurturing environment, the food is refined, and the soil that children play with is also artificially processed, so there is basically no chance of contact with soil or food with insect eggs, so there is basically no parasite infection.

After everyone "fights fakes", let's continue to talk about the possible reasons for white spots on the baby's nails.

Trauma. In fact, the most common cause of white spots on the baby's nails is trauma. For example, biting your nails, being crushed by a door, and being crushed by a heavy object. Babies have soft nails, and playing with toys and holding things may cause injuries.

Baby's nails are still very fragile, but they are very active in trying to perceive the world with their little hands.

If it is accidentally squeezed and bumped, it will cause nail blast damage, or abnormal keratinization of the inside of the nail plate will cause the transparency of the nail plate to be lost, resulting in whitish conditions.

In addition, many children also have a bad habit of biting their nails. Biting nails can easily cause paronychia, and may also cause nail growth problems, so parents must pay attention to urging their children to correct them.

Fungal infections. In addition to trauma, we need to rule out fungal infection or hereditary punctate leukonychia.

Fungal infestation requires timely medical attention to avoid spreading; Hereditary punctate leukonychia generally has no effect, while pantoonychia may be accompanied by other problems, so it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination and consult a doctor for advice.

Sometimes, you will see some scratches on your baby's face, which is also a reminder that it is time for your baby to trim his nails.

The white spots on the baby's nails are neither because the baby is deficient in zinc, calcium, and trace elements, nor because there are roundworms in the stomach.

In most cases, it is caused by a small trauma caused by the damage to the nail root, such as the baby's nails being caught by the door, being hit by a heavy object, biting by himself, or accidentally injured when cutting his nails.

These white spots have no health effect and do not require special treatment. It will slowly move to the fingertips as the nail grows, and it will take about 8 weeks. Wait until the white dot moves to your fingertips and cut it off.

When these conditions occur, you may be really sick.

1. Nails are cloudy, thickened, and layered - be wary of nail fungus.

2. A large number of horizontal lines and dotted dust on the nails make them sunken - be alert to malnutrition.

3. Yellowing and thickening, slow growth - be alert to respiratory diseases.

4. Spoon-shaped nails (deformed nails, distal curved upwards) - be alert to iron deficiency anemia.

If you find that your baby's nails have the above conditions or you are worried about your baby's nails, you can take your baby to the hospital to find a **doctor for examination.
