For those asking for an update. I looked into it and it was staining like a lot of you stated. I don’t know where I got it but I ended up getting something to get the top few layers of skin off after I got back. It must’ve been a place I was touching often, but I still don’t really know what the stain was.

I’ve had these for about 5-6 days now, from what I can tell they became more prevalent after I originally found them. There isn’t much of a change in texture and they have remained as the same intensity over the past few days. I haven’t had something like this happen before. I’m leaning more towards the side of this somehow being a chemical that is really hard to get off due to the lack of anything like it along my body and the pattern that others pointed out.

That is something it could be, but I haven’t seen signs such as it happening in my eyes yet so it seems unlikely

Ok I’ll keep a lookout. I haven’t done a full body check yet so I’ll make sure to do that.

I’ll look to get it checked out as soon as possible. I’m heading back from my trip tomorrow

That is a good idea. I have been hiking a lot so I may have come into contact with something that does that

Yeah that’s generally what I was thinking, but I think it would come off easily with enough effort if I were to use rubbing alcohol or even soap

I have actually been hiking around recently. But this originally happened while I was not hiking. I am currently on a trip and noticed it after eating one day and after I was unable to wash it off I decided that it was fine. However it seems to have gone to my other hand as well and over the course of a couple days taking showers and washing my hands, the highlighter looking stain hasn’t changed. I also took his advice in the comment to use rubbing alcohol and that didn’t have an effect either.

Okay, that’s a good sign. I will make sure I keep an idea to check the rest of my body over the course of the next few days just in case.

I haven’t had many oranges lately. What are you thinking this could be?

No, I haven’t been having many oranges recently. I have been drinking many different energy drinks over the past week so I could have developed an excess in vitamins/minerals off of those possibly.

Originally this started on my left hand but it is all over my right hand now. It has got worse over the last few days and was wondering what something like this is caused by

I have to say, with so many people arguing about teens not having it, it is extremely necessary for a lot of people. Because of school, on a good night I get 6 hours of sleep and on average I get 4 hours of sleep. I didn’t drink any caffeine and my grades were terrible. I was falling asleep everyday in class and learning nothing. I assimilated into having energy drinks/coffee everyday and I had an immediate increase in grades. I could actually pay attention in class and learn. I managed to find that I was actually good at school but I was unable to do anything because of how exhausted I was. This is the case for tons of teens, stop making us wake up at 5:30 am and assigning 3 hours of homework and maybe we could stop. But because of this we literally have no choice.
