My left foot is perfect- like could be in a magazine. My right foot is so weird. The toes are all crooked, the second toe is super long, and the pinky toe hide under the ring toe. The roof of my mouth has a massive ridge at the midline. Most people (that I’ve asked) have a little ridge. Mine is super deep. Also, I have central heterochromia, and even the dmv people have had trouble pinning down an eye colour for me.
I also have central heterochromia. My dad has it too and so does my DS1. Technically, the outer color is the "true" color. My eyes are easier to identify because they are blue outer/green inner. But my dad and DS1's are way harder to pick a color. From a distance, DS1's eyes look brownish, but that's technically just the inner color and the outer part is....hazel? Interestingly, DS2 has sectoral heterochromia, his eyes are brown but one has a small section of blue.
My dad also has it. His are dark steely blue outside and brown inside. Mine are brown I side, but kinda of a greeny-bluey colour- aqua maybe? My daughter doesn’t have it.
I have one too! I had a pilonidal cyst grow from it!
I don’t think I have this, but I had a pilonidal cyst when I was like 21 and all the drs told me how I was not the typical person that would have one of these (apparently hairy men get them a lot and I am neither hairy nor male). That was AWFUL. I had an I&D and eventually surgery.
I’ve had 3 surgeries for my pilonidal cyst. An excision, marsupialization, and a cleft lift last year. It SUCKS. Basically my butt crack was too deep, the final surgery took away most of my crack so there is no where for the cyst to reappear. So now I am crackless hahaha.
I also have a giant birthmark on the back of one of my legs and a mirror image of it on my upper belly that is lighter and sideways. Blame my Mom for smoking during pregnancy.

Yikes. I thought the one surgery was rough. I’m sorry that sucks.
My middle fingernails grow at a 90 degree angle. I've seen others describe it as "folded over" and "curls in as it grows", and all seem like fit explanations.
peachdragon LOL I want to see a pic! Side-by-side comparison, preferably.
I, too, have severe scoliosis. Two baby teeth that I finally had removed and replaced with a bridge. Deviated septum (dr thought I had broken my nose sometime in my life) 1/2 of a working uterus (discovered during my c-section) I think that’s it!

Both of my wristbones are enormous and stick way out and both my son and my SO randomly play with them without even realizing it. It looks almost like I have a ganglion cyst on both wrists but they’ve always looked like that.
"This prick is asking for someone here to bring him to task Somebody give me some dirt on this vacuous mass so we can at last unmask him I'll pull the trigger on it, someone load the gun and cock it While we were all watching, he got Washington in his pocket."

OK, LOL. Ignore my cherry angiomas. HAHA. My daughter (who was not born to me) also has these white birthmarks.

I have a chiari malformation. It's a fancy word for when brain tissue extends out of your skull down toward your spine. It's mild and mostly just causes headaches. My son ended up with it, too.

I have it, too. Blue-gray-green eyes with a gold halo around my pupil. I also have a bone that sticks up on the top of my feet. I thought everyone had it and you could just see mine because my feet were so skinny, but I went to a podiatrist for plantar fasciitis and he said "Wow! I've seen a couple of these deformities, but never this severe!" Thanks.

I have ridiculous shoulder blades. I sometimes stick them out to entertain and disgust friends. Dh dislikes cuddling with me because they're so stabby. Ds1 seems to have inherited them. I also have a thumb that bends back more than 90° at the middle joint.
I also never grew wisdom teeth. My mom had 2. The irony is that my mouth is kinda too big & having wisdom teeth could have helped out teeth alignment or something according to my orthodontist.
This is me! Wisdom teeth might have saved me 3 years of braces but they just aren't there. I also have an incomplete set of teeth - missing another molar so I mainly chew on one side of my mouth.

I don't have upper sinuses. I had to have sinus surgery as a teen and my otolaryngologist was dumbfounded when they did my facial CT scan and they weren't there.

Does it change more with age? Mine are brown in the middle with some greenish around the edges and i thought maybe it was part of getting older.
Not for me; they've been like this my entire life.

I don’t know if it’s weird exactly but I have thalassemia minor, which is a blood condition that is somewhat rare in many parts of the US but common in Italians. In my case I’m just always anemic and I need to have blood standing by for surgery and we needed genetic counseling before having DS. I guess it must look pretty weird on a CBC if you don’t know because when I lived in a city without much of a Mediterranean population doctors would freak out if I forgot to tell them.
ETA: one wild thing I forgot is there is a body of thought that thalassemia protects from malaria. I remember when I first read that thinking all genetic mutations should come with that kind of bonus. Like, sorry, you are going to be run down for life but let me tell you about your immunity to a deadly disease!
Other than that, I do have really large bony growths in my mouth near my tongue - Torus mandibularis. I didn’t realize everyone didn’t have them until my 20s. I also have them in a few other places in my mouth but the ones on the bottom are most noticeable.
I have this too! I’m middle eastern but honestly I don’t know much about it. Like do I take iron? Anything special I can do to not feel so tired all the time? I went to a blood specialist but she didn’t have much to say as I’m my area doesn’t have many with my condition. Any tips for me? Or reading material? Thanks!

Really? This has to be really rare, no?
Apparently it's an evolutionary thing? I guess? Or I'm a mutant and Professor X forgot to recruit me.
