Black lines on toes nails

Question

Asked for Male, 45 Years

At times I see black line on bail of right toe, erasable. Initially I thought this could be shoe colour. Pattern is very consistent. But this is not from shoe. I read somewhere that the lines on/under nails indicate skin cancer . Is it right?
