I get questions on the darker stripe on my right middle nail - it's just excess pigmentation in the nail, also known as melanonychia - it's common in darker-skinned people and I've always had it. I keep an eye on it for any changes that might require a biopsy or something as in rare cases it can lead to melanoma but I've never had any trouble.

My patching technique has evolved over the years, but I think even my older videos still have some good tips:
