I know splinter hemmorages are a feature of Hughes syndrome and try are clots that appear in the nail bed as vertical lines but I'm not sure exactly what they mean. I am taking a low dose of Fragmin & a daily asprin. I have less splinter hemmorages but I am still getting fresh ones. In your opinion or experience does this mean that the thinners are inadequate or are they a result of the thinners?
Thanks in advance!

I have had one of these on my right thumbnail for almost a year - I have no idea what it means. Thank you for the links APsnotFAB - I'll check them out immediately. I'm on warfarin by the way.
I would advise you to check it out with your Dr as there is a type of skin cancer that can present under the nail called acral letiginous melanoma, it is not common but better to exclude the possibility......I am speaking from personnal experience.
