Sudden Development. What is This?

[Khloé 89]

Today I discovered that I have some weird funky brownish, orangeish, iodine splotchy looking things on my hands. What in the world are, and where did they come from? I read that it could be b-12 or Vitamin c deficiency, but I take both of those vites daily.

I attached a photo to this post. I put circles around the discolorations. I was sleeved on April 8th, 2013. Thoughts?

Wow, that's interesting. It couldn't be a bruise, right?

I i find that I bruise much easier now but on the palm of your hands is strange. Almost looks like jaundice. Do the whites of your eyes appear yellow?

MM the Preacher says: When in doubt, check it out! Better to feel a little foolish by contacting your doctor than wind up with a serious problem! Lets us know what you find out, please!

Call doctor.

Have you been out in the sun at all? Applied any sunscreen or self tanner to yourself or kids? Had contact with any fruit or fruit juices or peppers? Any contact with bleach? Squished any stink bugs (weird, but they release a chemical when you squish them)? It looks like you've had contact with an oxidizing agent of some sort. Try putting some lemon juice on it to see if it fades.

I don't think it's anything to be running to the doc about unless you have other symptoms, but definitely would mention it to them on your next visit.

Woke up this morning and the spots were pretty much faded. Not sure what the heck they were or why they just suddenly popped up yesterday. They weren't a stain or anything. I did take some extra Vitamin c last night. And, yesterday I did drink some lemon Water for the first time in forever, and also some apple juice (for regularity) the night before. I don't use self tanner (I'm too pasty & pale and would end up looking like an Oompa Loompa.) Not sure if that has anything to do with it???

I have an appt w/ my surgeon on May 24th so I'll mention it then. Everything else is totally fine. No yellowing of any other part of the skin or eyes. My liver was perfect during surgery. No problems otherwise. Just strange. Very, very strange. I'm keeping an eye on it, and if it comes back and/or gets darker, then I'll give the doctor a call. Thanks!

Off topic: But unfortunately, looking like an Oompa Loompa doesn't stop ENOUGH people from using self-tanner! lol!
