White marks/stains on foot nails

2025-03-05 16:46:34
I am having these white stains on my nails since 4-5 months. It started with one nail and now has moved to almost all of them. The nails are even getting dry in these areas and flaking. I showed a dermat earlier and he suggested to take zincovit and a cream to apply on name (ciclopirox 1%) It was a bit helpful but now again it has started getting white. Please suggest what should be done to cure this permanently.
