Was it cancer
Black mark that run down the right side of my big toe on left foo it is tender to the touch
Sorry to disagree but I have a number of long lines not due to any injury just old age.
Hi Laura,
Sorry just getting to your message of concern. You did not state your age, but you might want to ask your PC doctor about Hemochromatosis even if there seems to be no history of it in your family. It is a serious iron overload condition that affects all your body-from cells to major organs. My parents each had the defective gene and my sister (66) and I (60) were recently diagnosed with it, we had all your symptoms and some. Doctors miss it even though it is very prevalent in men and women age 50+, women's symptoms develop later due to monthly menstrual blood loss, unless they've undergone a hysterectomy while younger. I hope you do not have it, but if you do, a Hematologist can order phlebotomies and an iron restrictive diet -take it seriously, it can lead to chronic joint pain, Diabetes, heart problems, liver issues, hair loss, skin problems, everything! Hope this helped!

I HAVE A BLACK STREAK ON ON RIGHT THUMB NAIL AND NEED TO KNOW IF IT IS DUE TO MEDICATION OR COULD IT BE SOMETHING MORE SERIOUS.
I had a black line on my (L) thumb. I can't remember how long I had it but it eventually went away and that was years ago.
I have a very thin line down my right thumb nail and i just realized that my thumb being sore like its been bruised may be linked together. Did anyone else have pain in their fingers as well? Its not a constant hurt, just if i move or bend it its a little sore.
Hi, just wanted to check what the outcome of your tests, with regards to the black lines on your nails.
Laura. What did you find out?
Bob Marley died from a gunshot
I was worried when I first saw them but I didn't have them before I had put my hands in ice water.
Your symptoms sound a lot like mine. I also had darkening of gums and skin in general. I was just diagnosed with Addisons disease. Don't delay in seeking attention. AD is very treatable.
I have a black line starting on the tip of my right ring finger and not down to the cuticle. What is this
Hi Linda. I also have black vertical line on my forefinger starting from my nail bed. I went to see my GP and she just phoned me she's going to refer me to a skin specialist as it could be a melanoma. I also have iron deficiency and been feeling tired lately. Have it checked ASAP! It could be nothing but and it wouldn't harm to see a doctor.
no I don't think insensitivity from 'GUEST' is a trait from God, maybe you should try another forum. Perhaps one where people aren't anxious and worried because people are saying they may have a fatal form of cancer... there must be a forum somewhere for 'think before you speak'! google is a wonderful thing, try it.
