For the past month/month and a half i keep on getting splinter hemorrhages on my finger nails and it's freaking me out.
Some of them are painful when i first get them. Articles on google mention that they're usually not painful and if they are, it's because of some horrific systemic disease (endocarditis, vasculitis, lupus and others)
I have them on 4 fingers nails now. I do remember hitting 2 fingers but not the other 2. (trauma is also a cause)
I have had this in the past, especially in winter months. I never worried about them as i didn't research too much. I just saw endocarditis which i was pretty sure i didn't have so i ignored them but now i don't know why i started to look it up online.
Does anyone else gets this? Should I be worried?
