Hi,

Medically speaking, those little white marks that sometimes appear as dots or lines on the fingernail are known as leukonychia. There are several possible causes for the discoloration, but the most common are mild trauma, a fungal infection, skin conditions, or nutritional deficiencies.

Answer #2

Calcium is in milk but your body cannot use it because it is cooked. Raw milk, (that contains calcium you CAN use,) has been banned in most countries. Sucky eh? You can get calcium out of vegetables. As for the dots, can’t help lol, sorry. I have them too sometimes if that helps? xx
