What are some small inconstancies in your body that makes you unique? (infosec.pub)

sorry for the bad quality, my phone is bad up close

I hit my pinky finger real bad while hammering a nail when I was a kid, it broke off some of the skin but when it grew back it kinda has a divit in it. Doesn't hurt or cause issues in any way but it's just kinda a interesting part about my body that's unique and I probably wouldn't fix if given the chance.

I've come to love these little inconstancies that shows that a body has been used for fun and living, scars with a story are really sweet.

Have a weird nub of bone protruding from my lower jaw under the tongue. Like a little skin covered spike.

Oh, also have a "hair" (maybe more like a mole?) on each side of my abdomen that when agitated, I get a sharp pain on the inside of the corresponding elbow.

mandibular tori is what this is called. The Xray tech told me to ask my dentist about having it removed and the dentist said it's a brutal procedure and recovery (literally shaving the bone down) so not to bother unless it's causing issues.

Huh, I guess I shouldn't be surprised it had a name :P

And yeah, I can't imagine it to be a comfortable procedure. Sounds way worse than when I got my tonsils out.
