What Does Your Manicure Say About Your Health?
Do you have dark spots or streaking in or under your nails? If so, this is something that should be taken very seriously — especially if it doesn’t heal properly. This nail abnormality may be a sign of melanoma (the most common form of skin cancer). If you have streaking or dark spots under your nail that don’t heal, you should see your dermatologist immediately.
