    1. I’ve got one in pretty much the same spot ![img](emote|t5_2ti4h|27603)

      Were you riding a bicycle as a kid?

    2. I have one on my knuckle. It will fade if I pinch the skin nearby, but reappears a second after I release pressure. Idk how long it’s been there but probably at least a decade

    3. That kind of mark is usually an indicator of how many times you’ve been cloned. You say you’ve had it since you were 14. Are there any memory gaps from this period that might indicate you’re not the original? Is there an accident your parents don’t like to talk about?

      I had one of those (pencil led). It was in my hand for at least 18 years, then one day all of a sudden I realised it was gone.

    5. Did you convince your husband to murder Duncan?

      That’s how I’ve always understood those spots to appear.

      If you try removing the entire hand, i am fairly certain it would also take care of the spot problem

      I had one of these. Cut it out with a Stanley. Jobs a goodun.

      Edit: I do not recommend this procedure to anyone.

    8. I had one a little to the left of the “Life” line. It went away a couple years ago. I’m in my 40s.

    9. I have a spot on my knuckle from when I accidentally stabbed myself with a pencil back in like 4th grade lol

      It’s just a broken blood vessel. I have one on my finger. You can get it layered off if you really wanted to.

    11. Got something similar in my foot. Sometimes when I shift my foot in a specific angle it will hurt like a splinter. Can’t get rid of it, never found a splinter

      I had one in my foot one time what came out looked like a stinger or a little claw looking thing

      I had one of these on the back of my hand for years growing up and it just faded away sometime as an adult.

      I have one in my index finger. It’s annoying-ish to look at because I’ll worry.

      It’s a collection of blood vessels or a speck of debris.

      I got a splinter in my pink about 15 years ago. It was a brown mark on my pinky. It’s finally fading.

      I also have a red spot on my palm from something? It’s only a few years old though.

    16. That could be my palm. I’m literally looking at it right now and I have the same Mark in the same place.

      Telangiectasia.

      Little dilated blood vessel. Very common on hands. Might go away on its own but at this stage you may be stuck with it. Sometimes we cauterize these if it bothers a patient enough.

    18. I have several of them. A dermatologist once asked me, “do you have Germanic ancestry?” Indeed, I do. Apparently these are fairly common among the Germanic peoples, and are essentially little loops of capillaries right under the skin. They are different from “burst” capillaries in that they are not a result of damage, but just grow like that naturally. Sometimes they get a bit more obvious as you get older. I’ve got one right on my sternum, as well as a few others scattered here and there.
