Nail Color Can Reveal Your Health Problems, One Of them is Skin Cancer

In addition to the formation of black streaks on the fingernails or toenails, there are other signs of subungual melanoma that can appear on your nails.

• Nails are weak and brittle
• Bruises on your nails, which are hard to heal
• Bleeding around the nails
• Thinning, cracks in the nail plate
• Increasingly blackish-brown lines

Given that melanoma is life-threatening, if left untreated, it can be fatal.

The only way to treat black lines on the nails caused by subungual melanoma is surgery. The goal is to stop the growth of abnormal tissue in the nail by removing part or even the entire nail.

However, if the cancer has spread to other parts of the body, treatment will be adjusted according to the severity.
