Hello,
I would like to know what it is on my left thumbnail.
It looks like a brown discolouration of the nail, and it seems to be growing with the nail!
I was told something about iron deficiency...
Can anyone tell me something more specific about it?
and How can this be fixed?
Thank you :)

If tghe brown line begins underneath the cuticle and it is growing forward with the nail platem, it is usually characteristic of a nail mole, which may or may not be malignant. I would see your doctor or dermatologist ASAP.

Yes dear, it could be something VERY serious - please see your physician. It could very well be melanonychia, which means it might be a cancerous mole growing in the nail matrix.
