Woman told to see doctor immediately after sharing image of her thumb online

She then updated just one hour later with good news: “Update: Got a referral to a dermatologist today from my regular doctor. Just waiting for them to call me.”

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.

They asked her: “Do 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.”

To this, the OP confirmed: “I have thalassemia and also have the line, I didn’t know the condition caused it.”
