Do you have 111 in Scotland? You could ring them and ask and definitley ring them if it gets worse or spreads.

As for your headache and temp. - have you tested for covid.?

No havent been eating names. No lillies either in the house as i know they stain.

Google throws up various things like age spots, Addison's Disease, too many carrots etc but none of those.

My fingernails look dreadful as if i havent cleaned them for weeks! Or i have soaked them in a bowl of hair dye/fence stain of which i havent done either.

GP isnt open until Wednesday here so shall have to keep an eye and see if it spreads elsewhere. It is strange its only on the hands :-S

I would have suggested turmeric stains , but if you have not been eating you won’t have been cooking. :-S

I have woken up today with what looks like orange stains/iodine staining on the palms of my hands and under my fingernails! i had had a shower but it will not wash off.

It wasn't there when I went to bed last night so have no idea what it is.

I am not well as had a bad headache for 2 days and my temp is still at 38.2 Im just drinking water as no appetite. Not worried about that but has anyone else ever had this happen to them? Under my nails, it looks like rust????

I have tried googling but doesnt seem to be any particular reason I can find.

I dont really want to phone NHS as not an emergency but it's still a worry as to what's going on.

Suggestions please
