Q. I am pregnant and noticed a dark line on my finger nail. Should I worry about that?
Hi doctor,
I am a 26 year old female. I am 18 weeks pregnant. Recently, I have noticed a dark line on one of my finger nails going down from the skin edge to the tip. Is this anything to worry about?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- Firstly our heartiest congratulations on your pregnancy. We wish you all the very best of health.
- You need not worry about the dark line on your nails. Pregnancy causes a lot of hormonal changes in your body.
- It also causes increased melanin deposition in your body, which may be the result of the line.
- Certain nutritional deficiency also can cause the same. So, if you are not on any nutritional supplements, you can start them after consulting your local gynecologist.
- Do not worry. Take care and stay healthy.
