Topic: Melanonychia vs. Toenail Skin Cancer (Subungual Melanoma)

Have you ever noticed a dark brown or black line going down your toenail?

That’s called melanonychia.

Sometimes it’s harmless. It can come from:
✔️ Trauma (stubbing your toe)
✔️ Friction from shoes
✔️ Certain medications
✔️ Increased natural pigment

But here’s the important part…

In rare cases, a dark streak in the nail can be a type of skin cancer called Subungual melanoma — melanoma that forms under the nail.

🚩 Warning signs to watch for:
• A dark stripe that is getting wider
• Color that looks uneven (brown, black, gray mixed)
• Pigment spreading onto the surrounding skin
• Nail splitting where the streak is
• No history of trauma

Melanoma under the nail is uncommon — but it is serious. Early detection saves lives.

If you notice a new dark streak that wasn’t there before, don’t ignore it. Especially if you have no injury to explain it.
