Dr Google is scaring me, but what does this look like?

This dark line appeared in the last week. The fugal nail has been treated and has grown out.

The nail bed is sore aswell.

Thank you!

Still looks fungal to me. The whole thing will drop off by the looks of it, in the mean time keep plastering anti fungal treatment on it just in case it can be saved. File down the surface thoroughly before application

I had subungual melanoma (which is what I’m imagining Google has scared you with). As it’s appeared just in a week it’s unlikely, as it grows up from the base, but you must get it checked just in case.
