Now I know the sensible reason for this is that I have banged my nail and its a streak of blood - my husband says he gets this often if he bangs his nail.

It is about 3mm if that in length like a tiny black splinter at top of finger under nail.

BUT i read once that if you get what looks like a black splinter running from nail bed to tip of nail then it could be caused by a cancerous growth in nail bed and I actually know a lady whose finger nail turned black and it was a malignant melanoma under her nail and she had to have her finger removed!!!!!!!!

I wish so much that I didn't know all this medical info and then I wouldn't think twice like my husband about this tiny black splinter like bit under nail.

Oh and on top of that today I have been feeling thirsty, a dry mouth, rough throat and a bit of a cough. Wait and see if it turns into something but I know I am not diabetic as husband is so can do test on myself but remembere dthat when my mum had secondary bone cancer she got very thirsty because she was losing calcium out of her bones due to the cancer.
So instead of thinking I have a dry sore throat thats why i feel thirsty I am wondering if I ned to ask my Dr for a calcium test

I hate this!
