Fingers and any cuts ... Hi Dragonfly 1 ... I am a newbie to the site and found your pics and the extractions-symptoms look 'similar' to what I have been experiencing.
Do you have a lot of pain associated with the fingers where the black specks are? Do you have lesions around the joints?
I am curious, as the lesions I have occur around the edge of my nails, cuticles, and on the joints of the fingers. I am able to pull long filaments of white plastic from around my nails. I also have the black specks growing through the nails but not on all fingers. One dermatologist in particular brought my attention to the dark long growths embedded in my nails.
All the best.
Take care.
