My husband has a dark streak in his toenail running from the cuitical to the end of the nail. I want him to see a Dr. but don’t know if we should see a dermatologist or an g.p. I also have what looks like a bruise on one of my toenails that has been there for at least 4 months, should I be worried about it, I have had Melanoma in the distant past. Thanks Sue W.
