Went In For Teeth Cleaning Last Month And Mentioned A Numb Feeling In A Tooth- I Was Shocked To Find A Tumor Eating My Jaw Bone
This photo is my CT scan. Biopsy surgery results were non-cancerous, thankfully. It’s been a real WTF month.
Good to hear it's not cancer. Waiting for results must have been so stressful.
This Explains The Pain
Your name is insanely close to my sister’s name (same last name and everything) that it always makes me pause when I see your comments 😂
Load More Replies...I had eight wisdom teeth, all with double impactions ... they had to shatter them to get them out!
All my wisdom teeth are horizontal, but the one that is impacted somehow manages to hold my lower jaw nerve hostage between its crooked roots 😅. I must be one of few people that actually hopes that one of my other teeth would need to be removed - so that crooked, hostage taking piece of bone would have room to get upright😂
When my upper wisdom teeth were coming through, the dentist extracted the two teeth in front of the wisdom teeth, to make room. It worked perfectly well. I wish he'd been there to do the same for the lower ones.
Load More Replies...Ouch! I had 4 like that. Luckily I was able to have them taken out before they could get that far and become painful.
Basically, this is the exact reason why my wisdom teeth had to be removed. I hated the dental brace waaaaaay too much to have those fúckers push my teeth crooked again.
I don't know how I got so lucky but I've never had any wisdom teeth. I just had my first cavity at 53.
Being Strunk By Lightning Can Leave A Tattoo-Like Marking Or Scar Known As A Lichtenberg Figure
This looks really cool. But I'm not about to put in the ground work for one!
I think I read somewhere that it eventually fades. I would have it tatted.
Load More Replies...I've heard about these and seen pictures. If that ever happened to me I would have that tattooed on
Being struck by lightning AND SURVIVING. I'm really glad for you,bro on the picture.
While that's interesting, you might consider giving Dr Pimple Popper a call. You have a virtual minefield of black heads covering your entire upper torso.... just saying.
I Had A Tendon Transplant In My Finger And They’re Using A Button, Sewn Through My Fingernail, To Hold The New Tendon In Place While It Heals
I had one on my middle finger. My fingernail was never the same. It has ridges
When I worked in a NICU we had a baby with micrognathia (small, receding jaw) who needed her tongue drawn forward. The tongue was sewn to her bottom lip and secured, also, with a button at her chin. We nicknamed that sweet little one “baby Button”.
This gives me the heebie jeebies. Almost as bad as an external fixator.
When I was a very young youngster, I fell and landed my left hand on a broken sugar bowl and cut all of the tendons. Dr. Bridges was able to reattach all of those and when I finally was abler to remove the bandage, there it was a button sewn into the middle of my palm. Plus I had the fingernails of a "Wolverine" for the first and only time of my life!!! All of my fingers and thumb worked properly except my middle finger. I could never touch the tip of it to my hand. Which made it very difficult to perform a bar chord on a guitar!!!!
Here's A Kidney Stone That I Passed A While Back
It’s pure hell passing a small stone, I know I’ve done it. This big? I can’t imagine it!
I feel your pain. I had a large obstructing stone a few mos ago that also caused a bad infection. I went to the ER early on a Monday morning and had to have surgery for it. Kidney stones are the absolute worst pain I've ever had. I have a high pain tolerance so when I say pain level is 10, it's like 15-20 for other people. Kidney stones hurt when they move and the sucker in the pic did some damage on the way out.
I've got chronic, long term, high pain. Kidney stones are worse than sepsis. I know this cuz I've had all three and gallbladder stones as well. Kidney stones are horrendous. Hands down the worst pain of my life and that's saying alot
Load More Replies...My grandpa used to keep his bladder stones on display in a cupboard...🤷🏽
if i would pass this i put it in a plastic container and write war trophy on it
Look up a microscopic image of a kidney stone. I hope I'll never have to deal with one.
Anonychia Is The Partial Or Total Absence Of One Or More Nails On The Fingers Or Toes
For some reason, this reminds me of the 1960 French horror film "Eyes Without a Face."
Billy Idol's song was inspired by that movie which I did not know until a few years ago and it inspired me to watch the movie, which is very good.
Load More Replies...I have fingernails but I use a tool to open soda cans.
Load More Replies...Is it painful or sensitive? If you're willing to share. My mom had to have one removed and I'm curious at the differences
Load More Replies...Must be really difficult when you're trying to pick tape off or really fine things apart.
To be honest, what with all the various problems I've had with both my fingers and toenails, I'd actually really like having them all removed!
I Have A Skin Condition Called Dermatographia Due To Which Lightly Scratching My Skin Causes Raised, Red Lines Where I've Scratched
This is cool, and according to Dr. Google, quite harmless, if somewhat uncomfortable.
Me too. When I was in 1st or 2nd grade (early 1960's), a doctor asked me why my skin was showing scratch marks during my office visit. I told him it was just what happens to my skin all the time. He was fascinated and started writing words on my arms. I still find this amusing.
I had that too! It came on without warning, lasted a few years then went away. At the dermatologist office they called everyone working there to come and see it. I don't miss it.
I had that all through high school! Went away as my stress levels dropped.
When i was growing up mine did this. And i always knew it was coming because i could feel a tingle and look down and its raising.
Scan Of My Brain And The 6.2 Cm Dermoid Cyst I Had Surgically Removed. My Brain Somehow Managed To Grow Around It Without Causing Me To Become Mentally Or Physically Disabled For 22 Years

This Bruise Under My Fingernail Healed Into The Shape Of A Heart, And Has Stayed Like This For Over A Week
It's essentially, a dried up blood blister that has no escape on it's own. The heart shape is a bonus.
A Jack Russell's lower canine went through the first knuckle of my ring finger, leaving a hole you could actually see light through. Hurt beyond description, but after a few weeks, my nail started growing out with a hole in it. I had no idea finger nails started so far back on your finger.

Olympic Rower's Hands After Rowing 1000 Km
I would guess if they're an Olympic athlete they are well trained and able to recover quickly. What would be the point if you could only row every few months??
Load More Replies...I'm too soft to even contemplate the discomfort of this. Let alone, doing the 1000km row.
I went kayaking as a fun work thing with my team. We went to a little island that was maybe a 20-30 min paddle off the beach, wandered around, then went back. They were all city folks and I was the only small towner who had been kayaking many times, so I figured I’d show them up. Nope. Guess whose hands blistered and burst open within minutes 😅 I’m softer than I thought I was hahaha, I made it to the island but there was no way I could paddle back, they had to tow me 😆😆
Load More Replies...This was after a long distance record attempt from Norway to Iceland. The team made it 965km, that is 600 miles for you US citizens. (The cold would have made it impossible not to wear gloves, the hands belong to olympic rower Alex Gregory according to the OP)
My Friend Has Had Three Life-Saving Heart Surgeries. These Are Her Scars
I had 90% of my stomach and about 70% of my intestines removed due to cancer. I was left with four scars about that size. They did it with a DaVinci robot. When they were done, it felt like I had done a bunch of sit ups and my stomach muscles were really sore. That is it. No severe pain, four tiny scars, zero cancer.
I have had similar surgery ... and a similar scar. It's no where near the heart. They go up the artery from my leg.
I'm waiting on ablation surgery to correct my superventricular tachycardia and I'm freaking out more about having something going up my artery into my leg than I am about them operating on my heart!!!! Freaks me out!
Load More Replies...Laparoscopy is incredible. I've had two minor and one major surgery since 2019. Total of 7 scars. The largest has the diameter of a dime or thereabouts (I'd need the smallest banana I've ever seen for scale). The lack of scarring is impressive, but by FAR the best part is the decrease in recovery time.
They did laparoscopic surgery to remove my dead ovary, but when they pulled it out of the hole it was like a black sponge and shed dead blood into the abdominal cavity and I got an infection.
Load More Replies...And there's me with a thick 8 inch long scar from my 2021 emergency gallbladder removal and abdominal wash-out. 😏

Load More Replies...I Have (Almost) No Eye Colour
From the OP: I'm a little short sighted but not badly. I suffer from really bad light sensitivity (photophobia) and glare is a really struggle - look at simulations of astigmatism for what I'm like all the time. I find being outside too bight all year so wear dark glasses and a heat most times in outside. In another comment, they said that they can't drive because of this.
More serious than it sounds then. Thanks for your research 😊
Load More Replies...Nope, the black area is the pupil. The green-brown one is a malformed iris, this can happen both as a birth defect as well as by damage to the eye.

X-Ray Of A Patient Who Had A Long History Of Chewing And Gnawing Their Fingers To The Bone
This resulted in severe bacterial infections which had to be treated with multiple amputations amputations.
I was a nail biter my whole life. Grew up surrounded by the worst abuses and used it to cope. I no longer do this and I've not lost fingers, but I wrecked my teeth and I was lucky to be able to remedy the situation. It's disgusting.
Congrats on stopping 🩷 I was a nail biter too but stopped when I was around 17-18, but it took my twin much longer - she wasn’t able to stop until we entered our 30s but she’s doing so well now and her hands look lovely ☺️
Load More Replies...My father had this happen, but only to one finger. He was a chronic nail biter at the time. They had to take off the tip of his middle finger on his right hand. He came for a visit while he was healing and he showed it to me. I went from being a chronic nail biter to never biting my nails again in an instant.
And I thought Excoriation disorder was bad. Wow. Although I'm curious who did the Xrays with all that jewelry present.
Lol, was just about to comment that as well. Speaking as a radiology tech, seeing the jewelry still on was jarring. The only thing I could think of is that possibly the patient refused to remove the jewelry - it sounds like this patient has some type of mental health issues and/or OCD/obsession with their hands - so maybe that’s the reason why it was left on.

But it looks nice braided and with a few beads.
Load More Replies...I grow small hairs on the tip of my thumb for the same reason. Luckily they took the skin from the inside of the bicep on the same arm, so there wasn't as much hair.
I have a skin graft on my left had below my thumb that also still grows hair. Have to remember not to burn or cut it as there’s no feeling there anymore
Raynaud’s Syndrome (Phenomenon) On My Hand This Morning
Coincidentally, my right ring finger has this happening right now. Usually it is more than one finger though, so hoping it passes quickly.
Please see a physician. Even if you have to go to an emergency room with mysterious symptoms for this to be seen, please do it.
Load More Replies...Have this in winter, hate it. Mine go more numb than painful so I'm lucky I guess.
Maybe it's not always the case, but my mom suffered this all her life and at 81 it was discovered she had hypertension in a lung and it was from scleroderma. Instead of having problems on her skin, it attacked the upper left corner tissue of her lung. The specialist said reynaud is one of the signs.
Here i am thinking it is just normal , as i have this happening to me for years
Long term Raynaud's sufferer here. The fingers go deathly white as above, then (sometimes) blue/purple, almost to the point of looking blue/black. When the circulation returns, they go pink again. Too many episodes will lead to ischemic ulcers, so keep your hands warm to protect them! See a rheumatologist if this is happening to you.
My husband's hands don't go white, but they're purple through the winter.
Load More Replies...I have it since a few year's. It is not common. You always have to explain what it is. And it sucks to swim when your vingers go numb and turn with/blue/green.
I have the same and i think this must have happened as a result of too many frost bites while in my youth and skiing the Colorado slopes! I usually resolve this painful condition by dunking my hands into warm (NOT HOT) water until it feels better and it's usually only about 15 minutes....
Mri Photo Of My Brain. Yes This Is Real
That looks like an arachnoid cyst. They're generally congenital (present at birth) and many people go their entire lives without knowing they have one. Most people who have them do not show any symptoms.
This shows the brain's plasticty, that is, how well it can adapt. I wonder if this person had trouble learning?

Load More Replies...My Dad’s Hand After A Bee Sting
I knew a guy that was allergic. He was the scoutmaster of my son's troop, so he was always outside camping. Amazing guy. Probably did more to make my son a man than I did. We used to joke about who got to use the epi pen if he got stung. He didn't find it funny, but knew that we joked because we loved.
I can relate. Latest exposure to poison/venom was sumac. took 8 weeks on meds before things began to return to normal. Skin from mid forearm to back of hand peeled twice. Now there's a scar at the point of initial contact. Bees are worse. A snake or spider bite would likely end me.

My Hairy Legs
Well, I bet you don't have to worry about mosquitos biting you through that.
okay....i have to show this to my son. my son hit puberty and almost over night he he sprouted hair like a yeti. it was kind of hard for him as his friends didn't develop in the same way. as a teen he disliked this so much he talked me into waxing his back once. before we started i told him that it wasn't pleasant but he sat through it. this pic will show him that he is not as hairy as he thinks.
You should try one of those at home laser hair removal devices. They're not super expensive and they work great!
Load More Replies...Hopefully the upper part of his ( I know, I AM assuming here) body is just as impressively hairy. Many with hairy appendages lack the crown of glory upon their heads.
I Have A Lot Of Freckles Bunched Up On Just One Side Of My Face
Not really no, not in my opinion anyway. They're so dark they look like a ton of birth marks or just some kind of dirt 😬😬😬
Load More Replies...You'd be perfect for a Star Trek movie! Jadzeera Dax made such freckles a beautiful thing.
I dated someone who had this - he told me it wasn’t freckles but a type of birth mark.
These are not freckles. This is a case of someone who produces moles which are different than freckles. Moles are raised and there is a genetic component to how many you may have. Freckles are flat areas which produce melanin in response to sun exposure; sort of like a spotted tan.
I Have A Single Strand Of Golden Hair On My Face
As long as this person isn't Feanor she'd probably give 1
Load More Replies...I have a single black hair in my eyebrow. I was a blond all my life and now white haired.
I am naturally blond, but around strawberry/honey blond. My eyebrow had one very long and very light hair (my eyebrows tend to run a bit darker than hair). Occasional black hair on women is not unusual due to hormones, especially to later age.
Load More Replies...Sometimes I get a random white hair on my arm (or b**b LOL) that is waaaay longer than the others 😂
I found one super silvery shiny sparkle hair on my head, should've kept it lol
I’ve Been On A New Contraceptive Pill For 8 Months Now And Since Then My Hair Has Been Growing Straight
My super straight hair turned very wavy after I had my child, and still is 10 years later. Hormones do strange things.
Yay! I'm not the only one! I had super super straight hair before my kid. Now I have Irish curls. 13 years later and it's still this way.
Load More Replies...Pregnancy can also affect hair growth. Some hairdressers can tell someone is pregnant before they are showing, because of their hair change (if knew person before pregnancy). I was listening to a radio segment with my favourite scientist and he is always ready to admit when he doesn't know something. When someone asked why this happens, he had no idea (he knows a vast range of topics and can usually give some insight to most things) because he has, obviously, never been pregnant, nor has he much hair.
This happened to me too! I used to have super curly hair and it decreased to being wavy after I switched from an IUD to oral contraceptive.
After pregnancy my hair developed ringlets, then after menopause got really frizzy on one side only. Very annoying.
My Nails Are Wrinkly And Quite Brittle
I hope you've seen a doctor. Nail irregularities can signal more serious health problems.
This looks like Koilonychia, also known as spoon nails. It could be a sign of celiac disease, diabetes, heart disease, iron deficiency, lupus, malnutrition, protein deficiency, psoriasis, Raynaud’s syndrome or a thyroid disorder, amongst other things. Please see a doctor!
I have chronic liver disease. You need to go to the doctor. Like...now.
Its great that these comments are showing concern & care for this person and suggesting they see a doctor. But … the person with these nails is not the one who posted/added their pic to this board panda article. This picture is from a Reddit post & the board panda writers / editors took it from there & included it in this article. I don’t think the person with this condition is going to see your comments. Best to go to the original Reddit post & comment there. The link to the Reddit post is directly under the pic in small/gray font. Most (all?) the pics included in BP articles are ripped from Reddit, the pics are not posted here by the original person/people related to said pics.
Child vs. Adult Hand Xrays
1. I hope there was a valid medical reason to take these x-ray photos. Gamma ray exposure is additive. 2. The "invisible connection" between the fingers and metacarpac bones are made of cartilage in children and becomes ossified (bone-ied) later in life. The X-ray of a hand can be used for age estimation.
My 6-Years-Old's Dental X-Ray
I'm 75 and I still have one baby tooth. The adult tooth above it never formed and descended. I had to have a root canal through it, and the dentist said it was very dense, and dulled his drill. He was very excited and (with my permission) took pictures, as he'd never seen it before, but had heard about it in dental school.
Kind of cute that your dentist was so excited to see it.
Load More Replies...Poor kid. Kid's x-rays are horrendous even when the teeth are in alignment, but this kid's going to be first name buddies with the dentist the rest of his life.
I was. My mouth looked like a sharks. Just... layers. 8 years of appliances, braces and retainers. All for them to disinigrate by 30 due to illness😕 I've dentures now and luckily they're pretty.
Load More Replies...My kid had three sets of teeth, two sets of baby teeth and then his adult teeth. His x-rays are...disturbing. Also he only has two wisdom teeth, on on the top and one on the bottom.
I wonder how much and how many times this child fell asleep sucking Coke & Mountain Dew from the baby bottle ?!?!🍼🥤🦷
make sure you have good dental insurance or start saving for a Orthodontist
In My Head, The Screws From My Spinal Fusion Surgery Looked A Lot Smaller
Terrible technique on that radiograph 😆 It's also pretty old (or from a less tech advanced country), not a digital x-ray. At least in vet med, a bone screw in the spine should not come out the other side of the bone- can't tell if that is happening here though due to poor xray technique (settings that made the bone barely visible). ETA- saw another similar image later in this post. Maybe this image technique wasn't poor and was intentional. Shrug. I'm just a silly dog and cat Dr with a little extra experience in neurosurg.
Actually now that I looked closer, I can see the faint outline of the vertebrae. You are correct, the technique was too low. They probably needed more mAs.
Load More Replies...I'll be having L4-L5/L5-S1 spinal fusion in 2 weeks. I'm not looking forward to it, but I am looking forward to being pain free and having a stable spine.
I hope you're luckier than I was. My doctor scréwed up my surgery twice and I can't really walk far now without pain. If you haven't, get a second opinion.

100%. Nothing but sympathy for OP - is this were my eyeball I’d be horribly grossed out
Load More Replies...Its a corneal dermoid cyst. It contains normal tissues like fat and hair follicles, but in an abnormal location. It's usually harmless, but it can cause problems if it gets bigger and overlies the pupil because that could affect vision.
Load More Replies...I wonder if it truly grew there or got implanted somehow - like stray eyelash poking the eye. If it was growing, wouldn't you notice and deal with it before it got so long? It must be uncomfortable.

I unknowingly broke the top joint in my ring finger about a month ago. Now it bends forward and is constantly red down to the next joint. Still painful too.
Some Skin Peeled Off My Tongue
What is the skin sitting on? Cause that skin looks weird as well lol
For me it looks like the hand, opposite side from the palm. The skin starts switching to the palm skin that does not have hair along the top edge, and right bottom corner shows the line of metacarpal bone that gets visible when manipulating fingers. The hair are tiny, only better visible with macro - at least it looks like this on my hand, men hands tend to have longer and thicker hair.

Load More Replies...My Fingertips Are Shedding
It's entirely possible for the fingertips to shed skin, just like any other body part. That being said, the layer is very thick and to me, it looks like it isn't happening entirely accidentally. More like OP picked on softened, wrinkly skin after bath/swimming, causing the thick top layer to break. Normally skin sheds more gradually, without this kind of visible edges. Continual picking on the loose skin can cause excessive separation of the layers and uneven growth. Meaning: the more you pick, pull and not let the skin come off naturally, in gradual way, the more this will happen in the future.
I had this happen a while ago, I forget which medication caused it, I think it may have been Elmiron (which also can affect your eyes, I have to get special tests at the eye doctor's because of it.)
Load More Replies...That happened to my brother after he got Hand Foot and Mouth disease from his kid. It's not really a big deal in children (fever and rash mostly) but it can hit adults a lot harder. He lost all the skin on each finger.
My kid lost a couple fingernails and toenails from hfmd. Thankfully they grew back fine.
Load More Replies...Similar thing can happen to me if I use cleaning products (like 409, even simple Lysol cleaning wipes though not this severe usually) without gloves and don't wash my hands quickly. This would require moderately prolonged contact with only the fingertips, plus picking at it several days later. My hands, especially cuticles, became very sensitive to cleaning products (not allergy, just drying out much easier than other people) a couple years ago, around 43ish. Su cks to wear gloves to hand wash 1 dish.
Wow, looks like the third molt wich will turn you into an adult lizard people...🙋🏽
Entirely both of the insides of my hands do this about once or twice a year.
My hands and feet shed in the Spring and Fall, but not this thick/deep. It's maybe the first and second layer of skin. I've done this all my life, and though I've shown several Doctors, they say it's just dry skin. But, I don't shed like this anywhere else on my body, just my hands and feet.

I Had A Shard Of Glass In My Hand For 5+ Years
I pulled a chunk of glass out of the back of my hand about two years after a car crash. It didn't hurt, and I thought it was a wart until it popped out.

We Call It His Spare Brain
A hereditary bony mass that will continue to grow until he removes it. His mother has the same thing. There is a medical name for it and I'm hoping a dentist pops in to tell me what it's called.
I have them under my tongue. My dad had them under his tongue as well. They were affecting his speech so had them removed. Dental tori are benign, non-cancerous bony growths that can occur in the mouth. They are commonly found on the roof of the mouth (palatal tori) or under the tongue (mandibular tori). Tori are usually asymptomatic and don't require treatment unless they cause problems like difficulty chewing, speaking, or with dentures or mouthguards.

Thwomp needs to be in the dictionary. Best wishes to your dad. Naughty cow.
Not necessarily, I've seen cows kick when they were trying to get a fly off their flank. You learn to watch for the "quivering" skin, that's their first attempt to shake off a biting fly. If that doesn't work, all bets are off.

One Of My Adult Teeth Never Came In, So I'm Stuck With A Forever-Baby Tooth
Two of my children had this, the adult tooth is likely sideways in the gums and can be surgically brought down if the baby tooth is extracted and the gums are opened allowing a button to be placed on the adult tooth and attached to braces with a chain.
My adult tooth was in the roof of my mouth, did the hook and chain thing to pull it down. After a year of medieval style t*****e the orthodontist decided there tooth wasn't moving and removed it.

I Got A Paper Cut This Morning. My Thermal Nail Polish Changed Colors Only On The Injured Finger
Thermal nail polish? I just learned about glow in the dark polish yesterday.
The papercut triggered an immune response that among other things raises the temperature of the surrounding tissue, fighting off possible infection. Just like a fever when we're sick
I'm going to try it out! Though I'd imagine it'd be similar to me with mood jewelry, which stays black when it's on my fingers.

Yes, actually! I read a report a few months ago that scientists think our skin does this to make it easier for us to grip things underwater and to walk through water. Apparently it's nerves that activate this, not absorbing water as was originally thought.

My friend used some kind of chemical that is supposed to loosen tightly fitted metal. I can't remember what it's called, but you're supposed to wear gloves with it. He didn't & the skin on his hands started looking like it was melting off, hanging off his fingers, but no broken skins. He freaked & washed them well. It finally went away. He listens to directions now.

Just Cleanly Removed The Entire Nerve From My Patient’s Tooth (On Purpose)
One of the greatest mysteries which I've pondered during my life, is why the hēll teeth have nerves. Totally unnecessary, and unnecessarily painful when there's a problem.
From an evolutionary standpoint, there's a theory that teeth are actually remnants from our fish ancestors that had bumps on the outside of their bodies that were used to feel their atmosphere (The bumps were also made of dentin, the stuff that makes up your teeth). The pain could also serve as a deterrent to stop you from eating using a broken tooth and lessening the chance of a tooth infection spreading to the brain. That last bit's just speculation on my part, though.
Load More Replies...I'm not sure about the incisors and canines, but the molars are landing platforms for very tiny alien spacecraft. The nerves are linked to an alarm system.
I have partially dentures, and the feeling when you chew something is missing there. I miss my real teeth and their nerves.

I've Got Too Many Bones In My Mouth

Mine look exactly the same. And yes!!!!! The mouth insert you have to hold for the x-ray cuts right into the tori.

Nails Coming Off. Came Down With A Severe Case Of Hand, Foot And Mouth Disease About A Month And A Half Ago
I had it after my toddler caught it, 0/10 do not recommend. I was lucky though and it didn't affect my nails, but my skin was peeling for months
That happened to my brother too. He lost all the skin on his fingers. His baby only had very mild symptoms.
Load More Replies...I've never heard of any type Foot and Mouth Disease that isn't restricted to cattle beasts.
My doctor just diagnosed me with HFMD today! It's one of those viruses usually restricted to little kids. I'm 70. Who knew it gets the immune system on it's way up and on it's way down?

This Splinter Was In My Nail Bed For Two Years, And Caused A Trench In My Nail
Idk if I believe this one. there doesn't look like a place they removed it from near their Lunula (the white part on your nail.) as there is no bleeding or anything, and if they pulled it from the edge of their nail bed it wouldn't have cause that.
My Grandma Had No Idea She Had A Sewing Needle In Her Foot. No Telling How Long It’s Been In There. Skin Was Healed. It Finally Started Rejecting Yesterday And She Had Emergency Surgery
That happened to me to! But mine was only a small piece of the needle. I had had a bump on the underside of my toe, the one next to my big toe, for as long as I could remember. Then one time I was walking around a friends house and it felt like something was poking me. My friend took tweezers to it and pulled it out. That was in 11th grade.

My Girlfriend Had A Really Thin And White Hair Popping Out Of Her Back
I have one on my cheek. It's so thin, I don't see it until it's over an inch long.
Me as well. I now know its location and sometimes look for it to pluck it.
Load More Replies...I got some as a young woman. Plucked them and a few grew back. Eventually they all stopped. All totally colorless.
I get one that pops out of my right eyebrow randomly. I'm always on the lookout for it, then BAM! suddenly it's there and like 2 inches long! 😑😂
My husband and I in our 20's and 30s both had similar white hairs that grew on our forehead, much lower than the hairline. Mine seems to have stopped growing though, I haven't had to pull it out in years.

I Must Have Snored A Lot Last Night, My Uvula Has Swollen Enough To Sit On My Tongue
I almost got in trouble in the first grade for saying the word uvula. At the time I wasn't sure why the teacher got so mad. BUT the Asst Principal asked me what I was talking about and I properly defined it. I was discharged without a stain on my character.
And the proper definition is always "that hangy thing at the back of my mouth".

I never let them grow that long but both my middle finger nails do that.
The nails on my ring finger grow out flat on one side. My daughter has the same thing.
I understand it can happen after nailbed trauma, and is not uncommon where someone bit their nails for many years. However, it also happens with age.
