Could be a result of two things: 1) if you bumped your nail hard enough, a white patch or even a bruise could form. 2) If you diet is lacking calcium, white patches (mainly white horizontal lines) can occur.

A white patch on the nail, known as leukonychia, is typically caused by minor trauma to the nail or nail bed. It can also be due to a zinc or protein deficiency, fungal infection, or certain medication side effects. In most cases, it is not a cause for concern and will eventually grow out as the nail does.
