Symptoms of nail melanoma

Our bodies are often troubled by some inexplicable diseases. Diseases can exist in many places, and we often cannot find them. This reminds us that if we find some abnormalities in the body, we must pay attention to it. It may be a disease. If you find that the skin around your nails is black, then you must pay attention to it. It may be nail melanoma. Let’s take a look at the symptoms of nail melanoma.

Don't be careless if you find abnormalities in nail color. In the dermatology clinic, you may see some patients' nails changing color, such as turning white, black, red, yellow, green, gray, etc. Color changes are often related to some diseases. Among them, if the nail color turns black (also known as melanonychia), and the color becomes darker and darker and the area becomes larger and larger, you should be highly vigilant, because the main cause of melanonychia (more common on the thumb or toe) is subungual malignant melanoma, which should be treated surgically as soon as possible, otherwise it may lead to serious adverse consequences.

The color of the nails may also reflect the severity of the disease. Experts point out that among all types of heterochromia, darkening of the nails is the most worrying because if the cause is malignant nail melanoma, it can be fatal. Melanonychia can be caused by chemotherapy, excessive fluoride intake, or chronic renal failure. In this case, the nails will turn black evenly or in stripes. Patients must be vigilant and pay attention.

It is worth noting that what we should really worry about with nail melanoma is the appearance of black stripes on only one nail. This may be a benign melanoma, subungual bleeding or malignant melanoma, or the result of repeated local trauma, friction irritation or even onychomycosis. Patients can consult a doctor to develop a corresponding medical plan based on their condition.
