Frequently Asked Questions
How might everyday walking or minor toe impacts be linked to noticing white spots on toenails?
Repetitive pressure or slight toe impacts during walking can sometimes be associated with the appearance of white spots on a toenail. Such observations are often recognized when conducting regular self-checks on the feet.
Why might knowing the Greek origins of Leukonychia help in identifying its features on the toe?
