Subungual melanoma killed the great Bob Marley, very nasty stuff. Same thing I had under my thumbnail. Would’ve eventually killed me if not totally removed with good margins. I didn’t screw around, went straight to a melanoma specialist at Massachusetts General. The clowns in western Massachusetts wanted to send me to an orthopedic surgeon to have my thumb amputated. Glad I went to the best, it took her two tries, but she got it all and confirmed it hadn’t spread with a sentinel lymph node biopsy. You can’t beat Mass General.
