Fingerprint change

Sign or symptom

according to Dr Paul Cheney, around 50% of mecfs patients have fingerprint changes that may show as faded prints and/or lines across the fingerprints, horizontal and vertical. This may also happen with Lyme, celiac, and autoimmune disorders, but it's extremely rare in the general population. May also be called fingerprint atrophy.
