Leukonychia is a condition characterized by white discoloration or markings on the nails, specifically on the toenails in this case. It is also known as white spots or white nails. This condition can be caused by various factors, including trauma to the nail, nutritional deficiencies, systemic diseases, infections, or medication side effects. However, it is important to note that leukonychia is usually harmless and temporary, and the white spots or discoloration will usually fade or grow out with time as the nails continue to grow. If you have concerns about your toenail condition, it is recommended to consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment if necessary.
