jesserose82 Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 This happens to both my children. They wake up with it. It's definitely not from a bath as they didn't have one last night and dd woke up with the staining. We have no idea what it's from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paige Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Hello original poster! Did you by any chance end up finding out what it was? I’ve woken up this morning with it all over both of my hands. I had it happen a couple of weeks ago too (but not as bad). It’s definitely not something I touched- it’s definitely something going on under my skin! I’m worried as no one seems to know what it is- and mine is just getting worse & worse! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darryl Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 The mystery continues... This thread attracts a lot of search traffic - so it must be pretty common, whatever it is! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wattle Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 I’ve had streaky brown marks like this the day after weeding the garden. I’ve decided it is from pulling out dandelion clumps. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mooguru Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 DS had this as a side effect of one of his chemos (not on his hands). It went away when that chemo finished. Apparently not an uncommon side effect to a variety of medications and will disappear once the medication leaves your system. I think iron supplements were one of the ones mentioned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf87 Posted August 15 Author Share Posted August 15 OP here! I never knew for sure, but I just assumed it was the weird ‘bath to goo’ stuff I had used the night before - haven’t had it again since! If it’s a recurring thing I would recommend seeing the GP, if you’re sure it’s not something you’re handling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tess32 Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 I've woken up with this a couple of times. If you look on reddit, you'll find a zillion people with the same question and no one ever really decides what it is. I had it years ago and then it disappeared and never came back. The most common answer was excess iron if it looks more like rust, or excess carotene. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
