1. A man in childhood accidentally cut off his fingertip, and then this tip grew back and even became a little larger



“Wow, I didn't know that was possible. And your regenerated finger normal sensitivity to pressure, pain, heat and cold? What about circulation?

- Everything is like with a normal finger, except for the appearance. Well, maybe he's a little more sensitive if he's into something stumble, but otherwise no problem.

2. This person has a rare disease called the syndrome Axenfeld-Rieger, as a result of which there are three pupils in the left eye

The left eye is almost blind, the right eye is fine.

Is the risk of fracture much higher?

“The bones are a little weaker, so yes.

4. The man had seven wisdom teeth. He had them removed. At Most people have four wisdom teeth, one in each corner



- If you're wondering, I did the procedure under anesthesia. But it took 4 hours to extract the teeth.

5. Persistently dilated pupil - a condition also known like mydriasis. Can be caused by many different factors, including trauma (as in this case)



Don't take off your paintball mask too early.

- I had the same thing when a ball flew into my eye, but after a couple of weeks everything returned to normal.

6. This is what Raynaud's phenomenon looks like, which causes a decrease in blood flow to the fingers.



- Yes, the fingers of people with Raynaud's syndrome look very similar. If you haven't been to a doctor yet, I highly recommend it.

7. And another person with Raynaud's phenomenon, but he is definitely aware of his diagnosis



— I have Raynaud's syndrome, and this happens every time after prolonged cooling. This picture was taken after swimming in the Pacific ocean.

8. Bone outgrowth (exostosis) on the lower jaw, the so-called mandibular ridge



- But the teeth are even, and that's good.

9. The first articular fold on the ring finger smoothed out after seven weeks in a splint... which can cause some pain when will need to develop a finger



— Oh, dude. Sorry. Physiotherapy will be painful, I know this is from my own experience. The doctor did a paraffin compress, and then bent my finger - and it was a living hell. Will have to be patient.

- Oh, sorry. I knew it would be uncomfortable, but I didn't think about real pain. I'll soon find out what it is.

10. This man has a rare form of heterochromia - both eyes are two-tone



“I don't think my eyes were like that from the beginning. Apparently, they have changed in the process of growth/ puberty. Whether in body failure, or I'm just weird. Don't listen to me at all I don't know anything about eyes.

11. The man showed that he can bend his fingers like this. This similar to Ehlers-Danlos syndrome - a disease that affects connective tissues, primarily skin, joints and walls blood vessels



- Read about the Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.

- I support. I can do the same with my fingers, just the same bend them, and this was one of the things that the doctors asked to see them when I was diagnosed with EDS.

12. A child born with an extra "finger"



— It looks like it will be easy to cut.

- Yeah. He will cut off an extra finger and he will not be able to become one of the "X-men".

13. And this is an adult who was also born with more finger (or fingers, in this case), and now in their place remained just memories. And in their place happens a phantom itch!



Do you have phantom itching in these places?

- Before, when I was little, it was often, now less often.

14. This is a person with a hereditary disease in which neither one of his fingers (or toes) lacks middle knuckles



How well do you control your upper finger joints?

- Fingertips are very developed. I don't think so for ordinary hands. I have to make up for the flexibility and strength that I don't have. enough.

15. A man went to the dentist complaining of pain and found out that he had extra teeth.



- Supernumerary teeth. Should have been cured when you were younger, you would have more opportunities. It can be transmitted by inheritance.

16. Veins in the shape of a perfect heart on the biceps



- Dude, you're just open-hearted to everyone!

17. And finally, this man, whose hands differ from one another in size, shape and even color



Today I went to the doctor for the first time about this. Fingers at I've always been knotty and a little crooked, but over the last couple of years the joints on the right hand began to swell and ache under certain loads. It's getting worse, so I decided to look into the problem. My therapist was very worried and immediately sent me for an x-ray. I write here just to cheer yourself up a bit.
