Does Vitamin Deficiency Cause Dark Lines On Nails?
Everyone is talking about dark lines in the nails. My daughter nails are completely brown. Here index finger is dark brown (chocolate color). She has not pain in here fingers at all. I am wondering though does she has a vitamin deficiency or is something else going on with her. No dark lines....completely brown nail.

Hi.
It could be a fungal infection, poor nutrition, iron deficiency, etc. But I cannot be sure without a visual examination and supporting laboratory investigations, so please do visit a doctor for further clarifications and treatment accordingly.
Best wishes.
