I just woke up with brown-iodine-like stains on my palms, what is it?

No irritation, no pain, no loss of sensory or motor functions.. Just looks like I was handling iodine last nite, which I was not. Before I went to bed, they were fine, and I woke up this morning and see those stains. Did some research online, and the majority of people with this problem claim to be handling or have eaten peppers the day before, which I did NOT. I have no allergies that I know of, and nothing was done out of the ordinary yesterday ... This can't be tinea, as its rare and not this sudden with the results that I have.... Let me know

Some lotions can cause this, handling some new clothing that might be brown in color could cause this. This is more than likely from an external cause, not something you have put in your body.

some creams might reason this, handling some new outfits that would desire to be brown in shade might desire to reason this. this is better than probable from an exterior reason, no longer something you have put in your physique.

Is it possible you didn't wash your hands after going to the bathroom?

Come on; Doctors are there for a reason...

I recommend you go see mr. Doctor.
