A single, new, dark stripe, especially on one nail, can be the most terrifying warning sign of all—sometimes an early, subtle sign of melanoma that many people ignore for months. After 40, these clues become less obvious and more pressing. Your body stops hiding its problems so well, but only when you’re willing to look. Don’t file, polish, or paint what scares you. Photograph it. Track it. Show it to a professional. Your nails may be the first part of you to dare to speak the truth.
