Hi John,
What does a splinter haemorrhage mean though?

A splinter hemorrhage is a broken blood vessel that looks like a splinter under the nail. If you don’t have enough vitamin C, your blood vessels break. You also cannot make collagen tissue like joints and tendons.
Healthy fingernails can tell us a lot about our health in general, but the specific details aren’t always clear. Thanks for sharing!
