A member asked:
Reddish black raised straight horizontal line on my toenail. has been there for years. what is this nail disorder?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Continue to watch : Let me start by saying if the line is on the nail it would eventually disappear as the nail grows out. To be present for years it would have to be under the nail. Present for years without change I would continue to watch it. Next time at doctors office bring it to their attention

Trimmed toenails-noticed dark grey raised spot next to big toenail-slight pain, think it was ingrown nail. Trimmed off spot of skin, it bled a bit, blood went deep, and a tiny bit of clear liquid (pus?). Cleaned w/isop. alcohol + bandaid. Infected?
What's wrong with my toe nail? Don't remember banging it on anything but it is noticeably darker than other nails and appears to be kind of raised.
