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.

No I don't remember any trauma or injury to my hands.  I work at a pizza store.  I've been working there for around 9 months now and never experienced any problems.  My hands aren't as sore anymore and it seems as though the stains are fadding a little; however, I can still noticed the discolouration.  They are a little itchy but not much.

Thank you for responding!

Hi,

Do you remember any trauma or injury to the site?

Are you handling any chemicals at work?

Do you any itching associated with the lesions? It would be very difficult to say anything without a clinical examination.

You could take some pain relief medications for the pain and try some hot fomentation. Do not try to rub the area too hard.

Post us about how you are doing and if you have any doubts.

Regards.
