Are You Able To File Or Buffer White Spots Away?
The answer is basically yes and no – as while you can do file or buff away white spot, it isn’t advised as it could end up cause futher problems. Plus if the trauma is the caused and has started deep within the nail, you’ll have to buffer away too many layers to truly wipe out the white and this can weaken the nail even more.
