Reason For Dark Lines Under Nails And Soreness?
Hi, I am always getting these dark lines under my nails. I get new ones every week or so and they vary in sizes and colours. Some times they feel sore. I have not damaged the nails, and I do not work in a job where I might easily damage them. I want to know what they are and why they keep appearing.

Hello,
I need to know if you have some other illness like diabetes? These dark lines could be due to some systemic illnesses or vitamin deficiencies as well.
I advise you to visit your doctor to get checked properly and have some tests for undiagnosed systemic illness and treatment if needed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr SAMEEN BIN NAEEM, General & Family Physician
