What Could A Brown Line Under Fingernail Be?
Hi, I have a nail situation which I ve had for quite awhile and would like some medical advice. I have a vertical line under my fingernail, it was previously white in colour and would create slight pain when I press on it. But recently I ve noticed that it has changed into a brownish colour and hurts more when I press on things with my thumb or on top of the nail.

Hi,
It may be either melanonychia or subungual hemorrhage. It may be diagnosed after seeing by the Dermatologist personally.So, I recommend you to consult the Dermatologist immediately and get diagnosed...OK
Hope this helps.
