I've had splinter hemorrhages since 13 years old (just discovered what they are) and i'm 28 now. i do have p. vera. might p. vera have been the cause?

Splinter hemorrhages: Are not uncommon. Most common cause is repeated trauma (it can be trivial) to the nail bed. The classic case is when they are seen in endocarditis. I did look up and found a case of p. vera that presented as extensive splinter hemorrhages. So I guess, yes, it might be the cause in your case.
