I posted my question yesterday but I probably did it wrong because I didn't see it today!  Sorry I have to ask the same question again.

I'm a 75 years old Asian woman, so i'm in the high risk group for Subungual Melanoma!  I don't quite remember, either a month or longer, I noticed a dark line on my right thumb.  It runs vertically from the base to the top of my nail, about 1.5 – 2 mm wide!  I'm very concerned but want to wait and see if the dark band will get wider before I see a doctor!  No family history for Melanoma but my Mom died of colon cancer.  I need help from people who have encountered the same situation for advice!  Thanks a million!  EW

I'm 75 years old Asian lady.  I just noticed  a black line on my right thumb!  According to what I read , I'm in a high risk group for Subungual Melanoma!  The line is not that dark and less than 3mm, maybe 1.5 mm.  I don't remember when I first noticed it, may be a month or longer!  Should I have it check or just keep an eye on it see if it get darker and wider!  I'm quite concerned but try to tell myself it's just nail discoloration!  I need help, please tell me what I should do!  Thanks a million!  EW
