Stains on hands

2018-01-23 14:31:46
Hi, Quick query that I'm sure is nothing Noticed orange-brown (rust or iodine colour) marks or 'stains' on my left thumb and forefinger on the pads of the fingers that won't rub off or clean off. Do you have an idea what this could be? As a note, I take 200mg of Provigil every morning for narcolepsy (diagnosed but mild) Thanks for any or all help

It is difficult to comment on the cause without examining the area first. I would recommend meeting a certified dermatologist for getting your condition evaluated properly.
