Close monitoring: Melanoma under the nail can be the cause but it is unlikely unless you have seen it increase in size. From now for next 6 months, watch your nail for any changes in the nail and in the skin around your nail. If there is an increase in size, change of color or pain, discharge, bleeding, then you should get examined by your doctor who may send you to a dermatologist if the lesion is suspicious for m
