Brief Answer:
melanonycia- benign condition

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and viewed the Image.

This is a very common condition -longitudinal Melanonychia - wherein a well defined, regular, thin band of pigment stretches vertically along the nail plate of one or more nails. It is mostly due to overactive melanocytes of the nail matrix and warrants no intervention.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
