Translucent black line on nail

2018-03-22 13:29:25
I've had this black line on the middle finger nail of the left hand for the past 4 months. The thickness seems to be 1mm and has not changed size/color over the course of time. However it still remains even after my nails have grown out.

Nothing to worry. It's longitudinal melanonychia. Consult dermatologist for further evaluation
