“…Patients with darker phototypes also more commonly have longitudinal melanonychia resulting from nail trauma or inflammation. Nail biting, 57 friction, 58 inflammatory diseases such as psoriasis and systemic lupus erythematosus, 59 hydroxyurea treatment, 60 psoralen plus ultraviolet A, 61 pregnancy, 62 and drugs (among which chemotherapeutics are most common) 63 have all been associated with melanotic pigmentation of the nail resulting from stimulation of melanocytes (Fig 6).

Fungal melanonychia is a relatively rare nail disorder caused by nail infection that produces brown-to-black pigmentation of the nail unit. The number of organisms implicated as etiologic agents of fungal melanonychia is increasing, and the list currently tops 21 species of dematiaceous fungi and at least 8 species of nondematiaceous fungi. These superficial infections may clinically mimic subungual melanoma and are often not responsive to traditional antifungal therapy. This article reviews the literature on fungal melanonychia and the role of fungal melanin in infection.
