Is A Black Mark On The Thumb’s Cuticle A Cause For Concern?
Hi, I have a little black mark about the size and shape of a hyphen at the base of my thumbnail, on the cuticle or eponychium. It s been there maybe three weeks. Don t remember injuring the thumb. Anything to be concerned about? It s right at the edge of the skin but not on the nail or under the nail. Thanks.

Hi
Welcome.
I have gone through your query.
It is difficult to comment on it without examination, so I would either suggest you to see doctor for examination and for exact diagnosis or upload the pictures here, I'll go through them, and provide you with specific advice.
You might have some blunt injury which can go unnoticed that might have resulted in this but I need to examine to confirm.
Hope this helps.
Take care
