A member asked:
Can skin cancer under the nail have line going horizontal across the nail or can they only be vertical up the nail?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A vertical line in any shade of brown extending from the cuticle to the tip of your finger is a sign of possible skin cancer. See your dermatologist for exam and biopsy.
