So twice in the last month or so after showering...I have gotten weird white marks on some of my fingers. The first time it happened, I thought I was crazy. The second time it happened, I took pictures.
The bottom picture is the same picture as the top finger...like 30 minutes later. Does anyone have any idea what it could be?????

Not to frighten you (at least not to the point of wetting your pants), but since it always seems to appear after showering, do you think it might be fungal? (<-- Sorry about THAT creepy word.) Maybe you should get it checked out, you wouldn't want it to affect your fingernails. It also looks like what happens if you peeled an orange with chappy hands. Do you eat fruit while you hose off? Just kidding! Sorry, again. It's a good idea that you've taken pictures, in case it isn't so active/visible when you go to have it examined.
In the meantime, it couldn't hurt to use this home remedy: Apple Cider Vinegar-- it's good at fighting the BIG "F". The fastest way to get rid of fingernail fungus is vinegar mixed with a 3% hydrogen peroxide. The mixture is fifty/fifty. Apply it with a dropper. (The skin might feel pinchy, but that's okay.) Follow the application with a soak in smitch of Clorox bleach.(Use one cap for half glass of water and submerge affected area for about a minute.) I know it sounds even stranger, but religiously coating the "white" with Vick's Vapor rub can help, too. The idea is to nip it in the bud PRONTO.
I didn't mean to upset you with all this (I got my medical degree from Sears and Roebuck, for what it's worth.), but if it is a fungus, you truly won't be sorry you went to the doctor, as this condition can be a nasty bear to get rid of.
My fingers are crossed that it turns out to be none of the above.
I have had white spots like those on my finger from 1) using peroxide and 2) from a fungal infection before. It is worth getting looked at, especially if it turns out to be fungal.
i agree with jessica, it looks like a fungal infection. i started getting raw patches on the back of my hands during pregnancy and they are still there. i get it when i use hand sanitizer, it's real weird.
It looks to me like peroxide use...does your face wash or another product you use have peroxide or a similar ingredient in it? Teeth whitener?
Ooopsss typo!!!
Quit digging your nose. That might help LOL. Looks like dry skin to me. Have ya ever heard of going to a doctor? hmmm
I just discoverd your bloggy and came across this post and thought I'd chime in!! :) I've had this before when I was using peroxide. I thought immediately maybe you used some hydrogen peroxide? My finger looks like yours if I get it on my skin and it does last for several days if I remember right.
I'm glad you thought to take pictures and ask for help. But it is kinda funny that you'd think to do that.
My finger looks exactly like this and it's 100% because I was using peroxide I'm glad I came to this site
Omggggg i just flipped out bc i have so many fingers like.that all of a sudden. I came to this site and see its hydrogen peroxide. I just put some on a cut lol
Hello I have had this come up twice. At first I was weirded out and I really dont remember using peroxide. However the second time it I had just used peroxide. It cause a lil stinging like feeling that runs through my hand like electricity. It then stay for a while and goes away. Anyone else experience this?
Peroxide !!
Yes it’s from peroxide
Was freaking out when seeing it on my fingers moments ago but I used peroxide so thanks to you all no need to panic :-)
😅😅Imim glad I came across this..... I was just freaking out but I was using peroxide and teeth whiting toothpaste to clean gold 🤣🤣
I'm not the only one panicking just used hydrogen peroxide for a papercut on my middle finger. I have the white dots on my ring finger and the side of my nail bed is also throbbing/tingling.
okay i have this on all my finger tips but haven't used peroxide recently
