In families with babies, no matter how busy the parents are, they must pay attention to the baby's physical health, in addition to other aspects of the baby's health. Sometimes there may be some small white spots on a baby's nails, but there are no other abnormalities in the baby's body. So what is the reason for white spots on a one year old baby's fingernails?
Firstly, it is highly likely to be caused by nail trauma. Although the baby has already grown nails, their nails are relatively fragile, and even a slight scratch can cause damage to the nails. Therefore, the small white spots on the baby's nails are likely to be caused by the trauma. In more severe cases, red bruises may appear. Parents should be careful not to let the baby's injured nails become infected to avoid more serious damage.
Secondly, white bruises on a baby's nails are likely due to a lack of trace elements. If a baby lacks important trace elements such as iron and zinc in their body, it is likely to cause white spots on their nails.
Thirdly, if the baby's digestive system has problems, it will indirectly appear as white spots on the nails. Children with spleen and stomach function problems need parents to pay more attention, otherwise it will affect various aspects of the body due to indigestion. It is recommended that babies use dietary therapy and massage to jointly regulate their spleen and stomach, which is easier for babies to accept and has faster results.
