A woman who posted her health concerns on Reddit has been urged to go and see a doctor right away after posting a photo of her fingernail.
To be honest, it’s maybe not the best idea to take advice from random people on the internet, though taking to a Reddit forum is certainly an option to seek guidance before booking a doctors appointment.
Of course, it’s always advised to see a healthcare professional if you are worried, though people online can maybe help out if they’ve experienced similar symptoms.
One anonymous woman took to Reddit recently to share a photo of her fingernail, which has a dark tan line clearly visible.
“Dark Tan line showed up on my thumb nail, won’t go away,” she wrote.
Many Reddit users have flocked to the comments section of the post, with one person writing: “Have you been to a doctor yet? this is normally how melanoma (skin cancer) presents on the finger.”
Meanwhile, a second added: “Not to freak you out, OP, but would recommend a doctor visit and I recall something along these lines too. Hopefully we are confidently incorrect reddit folks!”
