why is my skin green colored all of the sudden?

This is serious, so no jokes saying "hulk" or anything else like that.

.Friday, I woke up and walked into the room with everyone else. and they were all saying how my hands were green. and I looked down and my skin of my hands, and arms up to me elbows are a green color. I've been looking on google and cant find an answer on why this may be. I haven't worn any jewelry or touched anything green. does anyone know the cause of this?

Update:

no it doesn't come off with soap. yes, when I rub my arm it turns red, and then goes back the green tint. no, I'm not too thin, thanks for your help though. it doesn't hurt either. it's just really weird.

and thanks to the asshole saying I'm turning into Shrek, your ignorant.

    I can only look it up on the internet and guess.

    It could be Green sickness: Hypochromic anemia may be caused by vitamin B6 deficiency from a low iron intake, [1]

    I have seen many people where their veins look like their blood is green I think blood is green when it has oxygen in it and blue when it is deprived of oxygen. Then when it hits the air it turns red. I know that's probably not correct but it's maybe partly correct.

    Maybe it's the viens that are greenish in colour or something. There are alot of veins in the hand and forearms. If you have little to no body fat that could be all it is. It could shine a greenish hue on the rest of your skin making them appear green.

    If it were Hypochromic anemia I believe it would cover your entire body not just your hands and forearms. It could be just the viens that are green giving the green hue to the whole hand and arm.

    I am just guessing sorry. If you have yellow and blue sheets or blankets you may have sweated and removed some of the dye and it combined to make green. Yellow and blue makes green

    Just another guess.

    Without seeing it with my own two eyes I affraid all I can do is guess.

    Anyone playing a joke on you perhaps?

    Does it wash off maybe with soap or alcohol?

    Or when you rub your arm which should make it red what does it do? does it turn red ?

    I hope it goes away 'cause it doesn't sound too cool

    Seem like their are some issues with skin color there. My husband's family wasn't very involved with my daughter, now that I'm having a son they are super interested, calling about the pregnancy often. Before, the doctors were saying it was a girl and they were not really interested. At 25 weeks the doctors found that it was actually a boy and we were getting phone calls left and right to congratulate my husband. I detest them for it, it disgusts me. My daughter is just as important to me.

    If you're eating a lot of green foods, then the chlorophyll might be making its way into your fat cells and giving you the green hue. That is, IF you're getting that much chlorophyll.
