Black line on my toe nail?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Black line: The black line could be from a number of causes but play it safe and get a small biopsy. I have seen melanoma from one case the others were fungus or subungual hematoma.

Could be: A normal variant, blood, fungus, melanoma. The concern would be melanoma and hence should be checked out.
