What does Leukonychia manifest as?

  1. Red spots on the skin

  2. Black lines under the nail

  3. White spots on the nail

  4. Yellowing of the nail

The correct answer is: White spots on the nail

Leukonychia is a condition characterized by the presence of white spots or lines on the nails. This discoloration is caused by trauma or injury to the nail bed, which can result in an abnormal production of keratin. However, this condition does not manifest as red spots on the skin, black lines under the nail, or yellowing of the nail. While these are all possible symptoms of other conditions, they are not associated with leukonychia. It is important to consult a doctor if you have any concerns about changes in the color or texture of your nails.
