An American woman was shocked by a “devastating truth” 10 years after a brown line appeared under her fingernail

American Maria Silvia was shocked by a devastating truth after a thin brown streak lived under her fingernail for 10 years.

And the source said - according to the British newspaper, "Mirror", that the woman first noticed the "dark brown mark" 3 years ago, but considered it normal.

The color of the line was initially pale, before turning to dark brown about a year after its first appearance, and after a long period of doubt and suspicion, Maria received a “shocking and devastating” news, after doctors told her that what was under her nail might be a “cancerous tumor that spreads in the skin.” ».

Maria Silvia had to undergo surgery, to remove her infected nail, along with a part of her bone, and doctors say that the dangerous "melanoma" may arise and remain hidden for up to 13 years, before it appears.
