Thin grayish line on thumb nail

Hey, in the past couple of months I've noticed a vertical gray line running down my thumb nail. It's about the width of the lead on a lead pencil. I'm a 21 year old Hispanic Male with fairly Brown skin. I got a bit worried because I read that it could be a sign of melanoma. I only have it on my left thumb nail.

Thanks.
