Strange brown stain like things on my hands

Hi!
So I woke up this morning and while I was washing my hands I realized I had brown stains on them (the palm side).  So I tried washing them off but it wouldn't go away.  I have never experienced something like this before and both hands (palm side) hurts to touch.  They are more on my left hand but I do have some on my right hand as well.

If you could msg me back with some type of answer to this it would be gratefully appreciated.

Your funny. I am looking for answers too. I came home from Columbus and I drank chocolate milk on my way driving. When I got to work, I noticed a brown thick line going down the palm of my left hand. It was dark, but my mind wanted to think I got chocolate milk on my hand. As I was cleaning & washing dishes, I was amazed it wasn't washing off!  Now I am trying to find rhyme and reason for it, some answers without racking up a medical bill. Good luck to you.

Hello,
I think you should go see an Endocrinologist or any Dr. and get some blood work. Ask them to check your hormone levels: ACTH and Cortisol.

I remember researching the same thing about 2 months ago online: "discoloration/ pigmentation on knuckles/ hands that had appeared overnight and wouldn't remove. I thought it was nothing, I was wrong. I saw my dr. and the first thing she said to me was ADDISON'S DISEASE. I was referred to an Endocrinologist and apparently I have Addison's Disease. I am being transfered to see a specialist at Cedars Sinai this month. Apparently brownish discoloration is the first prominent sign of Addison's. Please do NOT dismiss this. GO SEE YOUR DR. This could be serious, or it could be nothing- whatever you do, don't just ignore it. I have always been healthy my whole life. I live a totally health- conscious lifestyle and maintain a veggetarian diet. I don't know how I contracted this disease but I did. My point is, it can happen to anyone. See your doctor.

I prolly have something different.. In the last two weeks ive woken with two rusty blood color shapes on my left palm exact same spot.. perfectly sized spaced and even shaped for my nostrils.. and it wipes off like blood.. easy at first last bit requires scrubbing... its light not heavy.. what stumps me is there is nothing on any of the bedding or pillow.. and there is no dried residue in my nostrils in the morning.. ive gotten nosebleeds sleeping when i was young.. it always appeared on the pillow if i seen it on my hand. It also always had dried amounts when I blew my nose.. its strange.. no pain.. no inflammation.. no nothing besides these two spots.. starting to think its voodoo lol

I woke up this morning and I had brown stains on both side of my fingers and non on my palms, I had peppers last night. Is that why my fingers are stained?
