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.

Strange but true.Sometime ago a college girl came with a similar history and my impression was tinea nigra and clotrimazole did clear it.Wil it grow over night?Fungi do grow.They occur on the palms and stain brown to black

So weird.. I too woke up this morning.. and had weird brown stains on my hands. Almost every finger had a little bit on it, my palm, it was embedded in some of my nail crevices,  and it either reminded me of self-tanner-colored brown(which I don't use) or dried blood (which I thoroughly checked my body.) I washed it off but it still stained my hand. I checked my head board to my bed to see if maybe finish came off if my hands were sweaty and I didn't see anything nor did any finish come off at touch. I checked my pillowcase because it is brown and maybe thought dye came off of it. Nothing!! I'm freaking out.. I have been taking thuja oil homeopathic stuff.. which I wondering if that would be the cause but why would it only be on one hand?!? It's just really weird and I did have a weird sleep last night of tossing and turning and then waking up to find my hand creepily stained.. Ugh..

Hello Tamor,  My 9year old son had his capillaries break in his face and now a week later he has a brownish rustsih colored rash on his hands.  Did you ever find out what this was??? Both of these symptoms were when he woke up in the morning.

I just woke up this morning with the same brown spots. I have them on the inside of my fingers and palms. They dont hurt or anything but my hands are a bit swollen. I dont understand what it can be when i just brushed my teeth washed my face and went straight to bed. I checked my bed to see if there was anything there but there was nothing. I also haad popped blood vessels in my face when i woke up

Hi

This has just happened to me out of the blue.  The stains are on the sides of my left hand fingers and at the base of my thumb on the palm side up.  Fortunately, my left hand doesn't hurt or itch.  My right thumb tip has a stain as well.  I'm so relieved to hear that the skin will slough off.

Thank you so much for posting

Hi,

You should keep them well moisturized, calamine lotion would help with the itching.

If the lesions persist, or worsen , it would be advisable to consult a doctor. This would help with a confirmed diagnosis and further plan of management.

Let us know about what your doctor advises and post us about how you are doing.

Regards.
