Strange brown stain like things on my hands

[dancergirl1990]

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.

Maybe it does have something to do with food! I didn't eat any peppers but I touched a tomatillo last night. I was going to add it to my tomato sauce and changed my mind. I only touched it with my left hand (the iodine-like stained one). I was still freaking out a bit til I read the posts here. No more tomatillos for me.

This happened to me this morning also.

Definitely looks like self tanner residue or faint iodine stains, but does not wash off. The first 2 fingers on my right hand look like I dipped them to the 2nd knuckle, first 2 fingers on left hand and both thumbs to the knuckle on the palmer side only and some miscellaneous spots on my right palm.

No swelling or itching that I've noticed.

I am glad to hear from so many that this should wear off, but I wish there was a clear reason why something like this would happen over night. Very odd.

Same exact thing happen to me this morning.  Tried washing my hands for a few minutes and it started to fad away.  Couldnt tell if it was from the outside or inside of my skin.  Although, there was some orange/brown in between my finger nails as well so not sure.  So weird!

Hi, I'm getting this. I'm only 18 so when I researched they said it could be ageing spots. but it shouldn't start that early. I'm also getting it on the base of my knuckles. Very strange?? Any help??

i woke up this morning with stains between all of my fingers.. it looks like self tanning lotion got stuck or something... they're not itchy or irritating.. what would it be from?

Let me tell you the followup of this problem.From the same hostel this girl came two other girls with smilar findings but the staining was more like india ink splashed on their palms,I never got a fungus testing one but clotrimazole again cleared it.Only right now I got reminded after this quesion.Wish I had got a scraping done.
