Hello! I am new as well, woke up a couple days ago with a orange spot on my right pinky knuckle and a few faded spots on top of hand. I thought at first I put my hand in something. Then realized it wasn't washing off. Since Thanksgiving was a few days I did eat raw carrots, sweet bell peppers, sweet potatoes and other fresh/cooked veggies. I'm also type 2 diabetic, have low iron and currently on my monthly cycle.. i also suspect hypothyroidism....so there's a lot I could blame it on.
I'll start w I have a very limited diet, it is not the red peppers for me, I hate salads. My diet is basically: cheezits, ensure drinks, Choco granola bars, and Kraft Mac n cheese (with ketchup!). I went to bed w both socks on, woke up w one off and that foot looking like it's covered in "blood". The foot w the sock doesn't have anything, but it looks like the sock absorbed it. I have it happen on my hands, this is the first of my feet and made me come looking. At first i thought it was nosebleeds in the night since it was my hands, then it didn't really taste like blood, a bit funky smelling actually, so then I assumed it was from me somehow spilling bong water onto my hands before sleeping. But with it on my foot? No way.
I came here with the same mysterious marks on my hands and soles of my feet. I went to bed without marks and woke up with them on my dominant hand and both of my feet. I didn’t do gardening and I didn’t dye my hair or anything.
I had peppers
I had pizza
I didn’t use baby wipes
I wasn’t near stink bugs
I saw someone else had this after making a hello fresh, and I want to add that I also made a hello fresh dinner with peppers and then saw the marks the next day.
I’m trying to get into the doctor to see if I can get blood work done. If I do, I will update you all.
Add a new member to the group, lol. I have woken up several times to these strange brown/orange spots. Today I finally decided to dig a little deeper and found this groups posts. I haven't eaten anything that was listed. I showered before bed last night. I'm boggled as to why this would occur from the explanations that have been given. It's always when I wake up in the morning. I'm thinking aliens or a curse as well. Lmao!
Hi guys I have woken with this again this morning. I'm in the UK but I have discovered what causes mine, believe it or not its raw onion !!!
I buy a bag of chopped brown onion as I'm the only person who eats onion in my house. I will still use it past its best before date if it looks and smells OK. Everytime I use it past its best before date I wake up the next morning with my hands looking like this.
I don't know why this happens maybe something added to it to keep it fresher for longer maybe ?
I to suffered for years with this, not being able to pin point what was causing it, I even spoke to a pharmacist who had no clue. Searched the Internet and found nothing.
One day I thought its covering my hands exactly where my hands went in the packet of onion, next time I used them again I remembered and yes the next morning my hands were stained again.
Hope this may help some of you cause it baffled me for years. Best wishes my fellow stained hands gang x
P.s the picture was took after a good scrubbing cause it was really bad this morning x
