Hi.
As per your case history of black lines in finger nails.
My treatment advice is -
1. They probably indicate vitamin deficiency.
2. Have healthy nutritious diet containing green leafy vegetables and milk.
3. Take an iron supplement and vitamin b12 supplement once daily for 3 months.
If problem persists then consult a dermatologist.
Thanks.
