I forgot to mention I’m 39 and male. There is a new development…..the nail is starting to be lifted from the bed. I haven’t noticed it doing this before today. It is subtle, and so is the occasional ache, but it’s happening. I don’t like it, I’m keeping my biopsy appointment. I’m not scared yet, so please keep any stories flowing, good or bad, and go easy on each other. Janner, thanks, and thanks everyone else.

Thank you for your response! I am of Eastern European ancestry with light skin.
I don’t think it’s melanoma. I am concerned because it showed up out of nowhere and I am fairly sure I never hit it. Also, there was never any pain and no external damage to it. The blemish had browns and lighter purples in it, and one small concentrated dark maroon spot and some days the lighter shaded portions look darker than others.
I wasn’t sure if something bad could be there and could have caused a hematoma upon it’s appearance under the nail. I also wasn’t sure if all cancerous cells under a nail would remain stationary, or just a melanoma.
Thanks so much for your thoughts.
