hi there.
1. your concern may be melanonychia.
2. there are multiple causes for it, which need to be evaluated.
3. you can try trichogro supplements, which also aid in nail growth and proper nourishment of nails.
try them for 4 weeks, if no response consult a dermatologist near by you for further physical examination and further evaluation of your concern
this may help you
