Black/brown line on her

2021-08-10 01:45:51
Hi, I noticed a brown/light black line on my 8 year old child's Middle Toe. Its only on one nail. I checked online and result is scary. Her digestive system is not so well these days too. Has loose stools once a day with occassional pain while going. She has no milk,includes 3 or 4 fruits, veggies daily. Also has vit d, c supplements.  Not sure if these are related...Her pediatrician said tummy is fine. What could it be? For the nail thing, Shall I see her pediatrician or a child dermatologist?
