Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have recently finished chemo treatments for stage 3 breast cancer and I ve noticed a brown circle is forming on my big toe under the cuticle on both the right & left feet as well as my pointer finger has what appears to be a black stripe under the nail...is this due to the treatments or should I be alarmed & notify my doctors?
Detailed evaluation is required because certain skin cancers like melanoma might present like this. Consult a dermatologist and get evaluated. A biopsy may be required in case of diagnostic confusion.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain
