Hi! Recently, I noticed black lines in fingernails. What caused black lines in fingernails? Do you know something about that? I am worried. Thanks!

Hi! Splinter haemorrhages are tiny lines that run vertically under the nail. At first they are usually plum coloured, but then darken to brown or black in a couple of days.
Cause of splinter haemorrhages is not always known. It is thought they may be due to a blood clot, or particles of fat that are carried in the blood and which become stuck in the nail bed. They can also appear because of injury to the nail, especially in manual workers, or as a result of an illness (such as arthritis or heart disease). I hope that you are satisfied with information.

| I don't have the splinters but the nail itself is forming parallel almost dark grey to black. It was originally thought to be fungus or something and so I took Lamsil for 3 months. now a year later when the nail should be grown out, they have stopped growing and are a dark grey/blue grey black. It is also starting to go to other nails. I have looked for pictures on the internet but haven't found anything similar...ideas? |

I have similar problems with my nails also. I have really thin black lines that run from the front of the nail to the middle of the nail. It is in every nail except my toes. What are the causes for this ? And should I be alarmed and go see my doctor? |
