      Mommy to Poppy

        Hello
        My name is Jasmine, I have a daughter Poppy age 5. Poppy presents a vertical dark pigmentation line running the length of her right 5th digit under the nail extending up the cuticle into the finger. We believe it to be menaloma. The lesion has not slowly formed it just appeared like it is in nov 17 and has gotten slowly darker and I believe wider. It causes no pain and she has had no trauma to the nail. We are UK based. Poppy has since had wobbly stages stating her body feels wobbly, headaches and periods where she seems blank. Her school have also reported these concerns. We have also noticed behavioural changes she was such a kind, friendly happy and relentless little girl now she has stages of anger, sadness, sensitivity and is very tired. Her biopsy is 20th jan but we have found no other paediatric menaloma patients this is the first thread! I have loads of questions non that spring to mind but we are just happy to find others in a position like ours 

         

        thanks for reading!
