Weird stains on hands anyone? *all welcome*

[cali]

Ok, this is super weird but I woke up this morning with these weird brownish stains on my right hand (palm and tops of index finger and thumb). At first, I thought it was dried blood but I couldn't find anywhere I was bleeding from and there was no blood (or anything else) on my sheets or pillows or clothes. Also, it won't wash off. I tried soap and water, alcohol, and even vaseline but no luck. It looks like hair dye or self tanner but I haven't used either any time recently. These stains were definitely not there when I went to bed. Also they don't itch or hurt and they're the same texture as the rest of my skin.
Anyone else else experienced this? Any idea what it is? Should I call my doctor? I don't want to overreact but it's so weird!

Weird! The only thing I can think of is Melasma. It usually occurs on the face but a quick chat with Dr Google told me that it can happen anywhere. When is your next appointment with your OB?

My first guess was melasma too. But could it be a delayed reaction from something you touched yesterday? Did you cook with something different for dinner and the stains just took a while to develop?

mrsrodgersaz, no appointments for 3 weeks. If it doesn't go away by Monday I'll give them a call I guess. So weird.

laurensc927, no! Nothing out of the ordinary that I can think of!

As soon as I saw the title of the thread, I also thought melasma. There may be a cream your OB or a dermatologist can recommend or prescribe.

Thanks everyone. It seems to be almost gone today, but still a few small spots left. Maybe a weird reaction to something? I have no idea!
