It could be caused by a dietary deficiency, such as zinc. The most common reason for little white spots are from a minor injury to the nail bed. The other cause could possibly be an allergic reaction if you used acrylic nails.
This is probably more information then you want to know about fingernails but it will help in answering your question. Our fingernails are basically made up of a hard, curved plate of keratin. Keratin is a protein and it is also what makes up hair and the outer most layer of skin. At the base of a nail is what is called the matrix. The matrix is where the nail forms from; this is what most people call "the moon" of the nail. This "moon" appearance is due to the nail bed being so tightly packed with keratin, that the capillaries (where the blood flows through) is covered by the amount of keratin. The rest of the nail that is actually attached to the skin appears pink due to the capillaries running underneath (the blood running through them gives them the pink color). Nails that extend beyond the tip of the finger are white in color because there is no pigment in the nail to give it color.
Nails start in the nail bed, a flat surface that is under your nails and extends about inch beyond where you can see them. When cells at the root of the nail bed grow together to form keratin, a nail is formed. Layers of keratin bind together and the nail slowly grow out from the root of the nail bed towards the end of your finger. Nails grow very slowly. The nails you see now will not be fully replaced by entirely new nails until 6 months or more from now.
White spots on the nails are very common and usually recur. These small, semi-circular spots result from injury to the base (matrix) of the nail, where nail cells are produced or imperfections when the nail is formed. As the nail grows these blemishes are pushed outward. Frequently the culprit of these spots is careless manicuring. These spots are not cause for concern and will eventually grow out.
Another leading cause of these white specs is a diet that is deficient in zinc. You could try taking a zinc supplement and see if this clears up the problem. Also probably lack of calcium.
What causes ridges in your nails are most likely caused by them being bitten.

One reason for white under the finger nails is zinc deficiency, a.k.a. hypozincemia.
Scratch marks on the face have the potential to disappear over time, depending on the depth and severity of the marks. Superficial scratches may heal on their own within a few days or weeks, leaving little to no trace. However, deeper or more significant scratches may require medical treatment or interventions such as scar creams, ointments, or laser therapy to help reduce their visibility.
Explanations must be Consistent. The explanation for one set of phenomena cannot contradict the explanation for other sets of phenomena. If explanations are inconsistent, they must be rectified or abandoned. Explanations must be Testable. Explanations must be examined in laboratories, in nature, in the field or through the study of past events and must be capable of shown to be incorrect. If they are incorrect they must be changed or abandoned. Preferred Explanations should be Elegant (Simple). Explanations that require the invention of the fewest "missing pieces" have the greatest reliability. Explanations cannot include pieces that are either inconsistent with what is already known or that are untestable.
A student from pure science group scores 191 marks in Botany, 188 marks in Zoology, 193 in Physics and 180 in Chemistry. His cutoff mark is calculated as below,Botany marks : 191 / 4 = 47.75 +Zoology marks : 188 / 4 = 47.00 +Physics marks : 193 / 4 = 48.25 +Chemistry marks : 180 / 4 = 45.00_________________________________Medical Cutoff = 188.00
No. Stretch marks come from skin expanding too rapidly, which doesn't happen in the scenario you describe.

No, demons are not physical beings and therefore cannot leave physical bite marks. If someone claims to have been bitten by a demon, it is likely a result of a different explanation such as self-harm or a medical condition.
