Dark line on middle finger nail

[Jmohd]

A couple of months ago I felt a pain on the tip of my middle finger as if a splinter got in to it. I still feel the pain but in addition to that I notice a faint dark line on the nail. Has anyone ever experienced this?

Which way? Across, or upwards?

My nails are a mess, but I have suspected PsA. Also been referred to gastro docs.

I'd get it checked out. Anything with the nails is often indicative of something else going on in the body.

Hi Nettac, its vertical on the nail. Its quite light in color right now, not like the dark ones shown on the internet. There is no discoloration on the skin.

Hmm, don't know. I've got red lines on all finger .nails, with ridging. Plus losing toenails. Docs seem a bit flummuxed by it.

Given that the illness is systemic, I suppose it's possible it could cause nail issues.

I would see doc if I were you. They probably won't know what it is, but worth checking it out.
