"pregnancy mask" ?

I woke up about an hour ago, washed my hands etc, and everything was fine. Just now I went to the washroom and washed my hands again, and my left palm is a rusty color.
I know some women do get what is called a "pregnancy mask", but on the hands?
I saw some older posts on another forum from a few years ago about people in the same boat, but none of the questions were answered...just more questions. None of them mentioned being pregnant however.
I have not used any cleaning chemicals, no new foods, no stains or paints, etc.
I am taking the same vitamins as I took last time, but is it possible that some of them are leaching through to my skin????
I've scrubbed my hand with soap and an abrasive pad and it's not coming off..it's just really dry now. lol
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I had a friend get the pregnancy mask on her forehead but it was just a grey color not rust.

Well, this is a first on me!  How odd.  I am going to guess hormones, but honestly, no clue. When you talk to your Dr. please update...I am so curious now.
