Subungual Melanoma

Hi,

I've just had my toenail removed due to suspicious pigmentation. They had to take some of the nail bed aswell as the nail due to there also being pigmentation there. I'm now feel sick with worry that I do have subungual melanoma

My toenail has had something wrong for some time, been tested for fungal infection which has come back negative. A black streak appeared at the beginning of February, it wasn't at my cuticle, bit did grow bigger towards the top of my nail and a bit wider too. The waiting is the worst bit! 

  • Hi GGT12,

    It's good to hear you've had this checked out and it sounds as if things have moved fairly quickly if you noticed it first in February. The uncertainty and waiting for information is always difficult so I do hope you find out more soon about this.

    Wishing you all the best,
