Dark, bumpy toenail

My mom is 55 years old. Her toenail has black vertical bump. She says its not hurting her, but it just there. What is that?

Hello and thank you for addressing your concern.

However, occasionally the symptoms faced by your mother may be caused by:

  • underlying condition such as
    • diabetes

    • anemia
    • kidney disease
  • fungal infections
  • repetitive or blunt force trauma
  • melanoma
  • or merely pigmentation changes of skin underneath the nail
