Hello sir. What you are referring to, might be a nevi/mole which can occur beneath the nail plate. There are around 5-6 criterias which we consider when we talk about a pre existing mole or birthmark becoming cancerous or something to be worried about. If you are saying its persistent since last few years, then there is less to worry. But keep observing it for change in colour, margins, discharges or any peculiar sensations. If you are finding it doubtful then do send me a picture by text for further clarification. Thank u.
