I noticed that dark color has been developing on my thumb nail and the physician referred to a dermatologist who has scheduled a "punch biopsy". The color on thunmb nail has been slowly increasing over the last 2-3 years I think and now I can see similar lines on another finger as well as toe. I am 55 and Asian-Indian. Should I be concerned about this?
