Keratin granulations are a dehydrated protein caused by the acetone toenail polish removal agent. They are completely harmless and are easily corrected with a few weeks of moisturizing treatments. Keratin granulations occur because the nail polish dehydrates the nail plate composed of molecules called keratin, which clump together into a white powder that looks like chalk or a white stain on the nail. Keratin is a complex mixture of proteins, such as keratins, KFAPs, and enzymes.
