LEUKONYCHIA
It is a condition white dots or lines appear on the finger or toenails.
It is oftentimes entirely harmless.
The spots may be tiny dots, lines or it might cover the nail completely.
Leukonychia is commonly caused by injury to the nail bed eg if you strike or hit your finger against something hard or get it caught in a door, etc
Another cause is frequent manicures, pedicures, or if your nails are allergic to artificial ones or nail polish/paints.
ONYCHOMYLOSIS, a nail fungus can also cause leukonychia. The first sign is a little white dot which may spread on the nail bed. Toenails may become thick and brittle.
Another cause is mineral deficiency, mostly zinc and calcium.
There are also less common causes for leukonychia like:
Bad Health
Kidney Failure
pneumonia
Heart Disease
Eczema
Arsenic Poisoning etc
But note that these are very rare.
As previously stated, Leukonychia is pretty harmless but if the spots are persistent or becoming worse, you might want to see your doctor who will diagonise the cause and prescribe treatment.
If you suspect allergic reaction, stop using the nail product you think may be responsible.
For fungi, an oral antifungal medication is a common solution.
The spots should disappear in a few weeks but in the meanwhile, if you find the spots bothersome you could use a neutral/skin toned nail polish to cover it up.

oh I thought this shii was caused by some ducking shekereke

That one de sha

It is always caused by cattle egret (lekeleke)

We often experienced it when we sing the song below when cattle egrets were flying at childhood

“Lekeleke bami leke
Eiye adaba ba mi leke”

Story.

It is lekeleke if u like write volumes.

It is what it is!
We reject your explanation.

Thank u.

Public school kids, ghetto breeds and civil servants kids will tell you the myth behind this...but ikoyi breed, diaspora kids, and classic business men and educated elites kids will tell you its a sign of deficiency in ur body.
