I've got a vertical dark line on both my thumbs' fingernails and one much more lighter on my forefinger's nail . What could it mean?
I have had a section of my fingernail that can present a dark line, which looks like a splinter or blood blister. It runs vertically from the base of the nail to the tip. The nail itself splits at the tip along the same line.
Does the dark vertical lines in my finger nails I had for years have anything to do with cholecystectomy I had 2 days back? Nails looks healthy.
Occasionally get a one or two small splinter hemorrhages on a random finger nail. Anything to worry about or can they just be benign? Had no trauma.
Small dark lines at end of some of my fingernails. Look like splinters. They dont go all the way up my nail. They r just at the very end of my nail.
