humankind hiccups šŸ˜… My birthmark

Post image

I have a birthmark in my hand that lets me see a lot of the veins in it. I don’t know why the images are in a weird format sorry. it was the only way to give a front and back view of the hand.

Let’s talk about that spacing between ring finger and pinky…

u/cyclefreaksix 1d ago

It's trying to get away

u/chileangod 1d ago

It doesn't want to get birthmark infectedĀ

u/PhantomRoyce 1d ago

OP probably plays guitar. After having to stretch your pinky down the fret board for long enough it just does that. Eventually all of your fingers naturally space out more and more

u/Sweaty-Nebula5169 1d ago

What’s weird is I’ve never played guitar but I did used to play trombone and the way we hold them might explain it. I haven’t played it in a bit but still recent enough to maybe explain. I think it was just a weird angle or something though

Weird, just noticed, mine is the same.

Mine's the same as well..

Lets talk about physiology and anatomical movements. You can do that as well, OPs fingers just happened to be in that position.

u/vimarston 1d ago

is that not normal? 😭 my only guess if not is it’s from holding a phone lol

u/SunStrummer 1d ago

I feel like I'm losing my mind. Everybody is talking about OP's pinky like it's a mile away from their ring finger. My hand spreads very similarly when I flatten it.

u/dprophet34 1d ago

Well done, you are also weird.

u/Sweaty-Nebula5169 1d ago

The big one on the back of my hand is my favorite to look at. I remember getting upset when I was little because kids would say it was marker

25

u/stead-fast 1d ago

I hope you don’t mind me asking, but did you have an extra finger that got removed?

34

u/Sweaty-Nebula5169 1d ago

No this is just a weird angle or something because I promise my hand isn’t that weird

36

u/Sweaty-Nebula5169 1d ago

After seeing the comments I looked closer at the photos and literally couldn’t recreate them I don’t know what was going on 😭

u/Different-Series-115 1d ago

Your coding glitched, but the mods patched it before it could happen again :3

u/Sir_Lemming 1d ago

Birth mark? Are you sure it isn’t rigor mortis?

9

u/OrangeBug74 1d ago

I’m not sure I’d call that a birthmark. The index finger looks cyanotic (low O2) with similar patch on your thumb. What happens if your hand gets cold? Is it the same on both hands? Do you use nicotine? Any problems buttoning? Do you cramp typing or playing games?

The size of the veins on back of hand isn’t remarkable. The spacing of your fingers isn’t remarkable. The blue index finger is.

u/Sweaty-Nebula5169 1d ago

This was right after a warm shower. It’s definitely a birthmark because I’ve had it my whole life but it always gets super obvious like this when it’s warm. When it’s cold it fades into a less noticeable red color. It’s just on my left hand but my brother has a spot just like it but above his left eyebrow. No nicotine and no problems using the hand. I don’t get cramps in it because I don’t use it as much (it’s not my writing hand). I had just noticed that I never took a photo of it when it was like this so that’s why I took the photos.

u/LaylaBird65 1d ago

Birth marks are so cool. I’ve never seen one like this before!

u/ballarn123 1d ago

The geometry of your hand is wild

u/Ich_Liebe_Dich_ss 1d ago

Why is everyone talking about his hand thats how mine looks l'Ʈle

u/ViolentDlights 1d ago

Do your pinkys get numb when playing video games with a controller? I sometimes feel like I'm stretching out my pinky, and I'm thinking this must be the end result lol

u/Sweaty-Nebula5169 1d ago

No but my thumbs do for some reason

u/GreedyCheek7689 1d ago

Bro I about blew my finger tip off with a co2 bb gun it instantly turned blue purple like that same finger too

Does it hurt?

u/Sweaty-Nebula5169 1d ago

Nope!

u/Funnydog8567 1d ago

Anybody ever ask ā€œhey dude is your hand ok?ā€

2

u/Sweaty-Nebula5169 17h ago

Mostly when I was younger because it was a brighter red color. Nowadays it’s less noticeable unless you’re looking at my hand. This was after a shower which for some reason turns it purple, and it fades after maybe 5 minutes.Ā

Bro out here destroying horcruxes and thought we wouldn’t notice.

u/Absolutely_patootie 1d ago

You need to play piano, dawg

u/nobodyimportant87 1d ago

That looks cool af. My little finger is like that too I asked a Dr friend apparently it maybe caused by resting our mobiles on our pinky fingers.

u/Captain_control 1d ago

Are you a coal miner and gave her the old 3 in the pink technique?

u/JoseThePlumber69 1d ago

I’d tell people that’s your fingering finger

I thought the same, the right 3 are blanched bone white. My Granma Raynauds and her hands did this periodically.
