white marks on fingernails?
    #5462778 - 03/31/06 05:01 AM (17 years, 9 months ago)

Ever since I was little.. i got these white marks. (they also form when you hit your fingernail on something)

well..i have them all over my nails... and on every finger. Does anyone know what this is from?

I eat a very balanced diet.. workout.. get plenty of sleep.

Do you eat any bananas or anything else with enough zinc in it? I've found that eating just one banana every day or two will stop the white patches from appearing.

You're malnourished. That, or you're a habitual liar.

Same thing happens to me,
Not in lines but in patches...

There will be a big white spot on one or two of my nails..

Actually, now that I think about it, there could be a much more serious problem. You may have heavy metal poisoning. Have you been exposed to arsenic, or anything recently?

Try eating more bananas, or taking a multivitamin that is high in zinc.

hum..

Now that I look at them, I got spots on mine too,..

one big patch, and a spot.

I am allergic to banana, and cannot drink milk, (get reaction, stomach, etc) ..

maybe there is a simple link.

It seem reasonable to think that as you grow your nails, you lack something, or add something, ..

zinc is the guilty one?

How does one grow nails? what are nail? :p

I've heard that a lack of either zinc or magnesium can be responsible for the white patches.

You can get zinc/magnesium supplement pills, if you are allergic to bananas.

Is this the bodys way of warning me that I am very ill?
Is me not eating alot of zinc life threatening? 
Or would I just do it to not have whitespots on my nails? 

:lol:
3 question marks for one question - I need to learn to form better sentences..

No I don't think it means you are very ill. Eating more zinc would probably only serve to get rid of the white spots - that I know of.

Of course there could be other not-so-obvious results a zinc deficiency.

Just checking...

I seriously think I have testi cancer though,
From what I believe you have lymphnodes in your innerthigh like under your chin on your throat - And they get swollen when irritated.

Those have been swelling up - Just too broke to go to the damn doctor..

If you had testicle cancer you should be able to feel the tumor on one of your testes.

With testicle cancer there is usually no pain at all but there should be a hard bump (the tumor) on one of your testicles. Best time to check for this is directly after a shower or bath, so your scrotum is thin and loose.

I don't think your lymph nodes would swell up just because of testicle cancer, unless maybe it was already really far gone.

Any ideas of something relatively un-noticeable that might be causing this?

The swollen lymph nodes?

From what I know, that is usually an indication of some kind of infection. Usually a virus, though I think almost any virus will cause lymph nodes to swell up (they are part of your immune system).

The lymph nodes in my neck swell up any time I get sick.

As for something un-noticeable...again it could be anything. Is there any chance you've come into contact with someone who has Mono over the past few weeks/month?

How long have they been swollen like that?

No chance of mono - I'm pretty sure on that.

About a month or two...
Hence that's why I just figured it was something seriously wrong.
I'm 18 I might add,
Could possibly help you diagnose I guess.

I really appreciate the advice trendal
:lol:

Bananas don't make the charts when it comes to zinc search for zinc in the fruit& juice category that I can see.

Maybe there's another ingredient that bananas excel in.

I think they're sprayed heavily with copper sulphate to keep the fungus off them, so maybe they're high in copper.

Wow that's right.

Looks like they're big in potassium - ~460mg
