The woman took to Reddit, telling the thread that the mark won\u2019t \u2018go away\u2019<\/strong><\/h1>\n

A woman who showed an innocent image of her thumb was told to see a doctor immediately by concerned social media users.<\/p>\n

There are some things that happen to our bodies that might seem strange, yet harmless.<\/p>\n

Yet, as a women took to Reddit to show off an odd mark on her thumbnail, people were quick to tell her to seek immediate medical advice.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The woman, who posted to the thread r\/mildlyinteresting, attached a photo of her thumb which had a light brown line running vertically down it.<\/p>\n

\u201cDark Tan line showed up on my thumb nail, won\u2019t go away.\u201d, she wrote.<\/p>\n

You might think it will disappear on its own and there isn\u2019t anything particularly dangerous about a line on a thumbnail, but others disagree.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Instantly, the poster was inundated with warnings of a variety of medical conditions it could be.<\/p>\n

The woman showed Reddit her nail (Reddit\/mildlyinteresting)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One person wrote, sharing their own experience which led to a scary diagnosis: \u201cHey op. I have this on my pinky finger. Went to a dermatologist. Mine was just an error in my code but they do so it can be an early sign of cancer. A closer look at it by a dermatologist will help you. My GP referred me to see a dermatologist. Best of luck.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Another said it could be harmless, writing: \u201cI had one on my toenail recently. Went to the derm and confirmed it\u2019s longitudinal melanonychia. For me, it\u2019s apparently not concerning but something they want to keep an eye on and measure to make sure it\u2019s not changing. Hope the same for you, Tough_Nips!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

According to Healthline, having a dark line on your fingernails or toenails can come from a condition called melanonychia \u2013 a type of melanoma skin cancer.<\/p>\n

One woman narrowly escaped death after spotting a dark line on her thumb too, having been diagnosed with one of the most life-threatening forms of cancer.<\/p>\n

Someone else wrote: \u201cI had the exact same line spontaneously appear as a kid, saw my pcp who referred me to a dermatologist who recommended I biopsy it to be safe. They pulled back the skin behind my thumb for the biopsy that luckily confirmed that the mole was benign. Line went away after the biopsy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A fourth speculated: \u201cI have one as well, same finger, same location. been there for over 10 years. Let us know what the Dr says! I saw a dermatologist a few years ago. she seemed rushed, looked at it through a tiny handheld magnifier, and told me not to worry. Then she left the room. I had to ask a nurse if she was done. Yes, she was done.\u201d<\/p>\n

The poster was quick to update everyone hours after posting, explaining that she was actually booked to see the doctor that day, writing: \u201cFunnily enough, I have a regular check up today. Will definitely ask my GP.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

She then updated just one hour later with good news: \u201cUpdate: Got a referral to a dermatologist today from my regular doctor. Just waiting for them to call me.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for what it could be, one person asked her if she happened to have a genetic condition, which could cause the tine to appear.<\/p>\n

They asked her: \u201cDo you have Thalessemia? It is a hereditary blood condition. It can cause these. Have also heard that other conditions which affect your liver can cause these to show up.\u201d<\/p>\n

To this, the OP confirmed: \u201cI have thalassemia and also have the line, I didn\u2019t know the condition caused it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
