Hi there. To get to the point : unlikely to be skin cancer and you can relax on that front. Pigmentation of the nails 💅 have different aeitologies but cancers are not that common given our Indian heritage. Having said that, a more detailed and in-person consultation is best especially since you hail from Bangalore. Given you are breast feeding and traffic being what it is in namma Bengaluru, an Online Consultation will be just as good to begin with. Don't worry, we will sort it out and put your mind at rest Cheers and Au revoir.
