Brown strip on finger nail

2017-08-26 06:37:50
I have a dark brown line covering almost 1/4th middle of the nail and vertically. Also, a similar line , however lighter in shade is in the middle finger nail ad well.I have it from few years now but gave a thought only , recently after reading an article online that says it could be a cancer. I need to have it validated. Please advise.
