A member asked:
Hello so i have this black line on like 3 toes and i wanted to know if it can be melanoma and what are the chances of it being melanoma?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A medical provider and perhaps a dermatologist will have to exam the nail lines and assess your risk. I have seen these to be normal in my Black patients however melanoma has to be ruled out. Click the link and read under "LONGITUDINAL MELANONYCHIA" https://www.aafp.org/afp/2012/0415/p779.html
