Subungual Melanoma or Toenail Fungus?

Question

Asked for Male, 20 Years

I am having Brown vertical stripe on my toenail from the past 3-4 years but I didn't paid much attention to it but recently there is a white patch and black dots on the same toenail. I am worried about it being melanoma. Please help me out.
