A member asked:
My 5 yr old has suddenly developed a brownish stain on his hands. it looks like he used self-tanning lotion and didn't wash it off.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
There are other: products that might cause that. Are there any hair color products in the household? Perhaps he is reacting to something he touched at school? If it doesn't go away in a couple of days, or if there are any symptoms of illness with it, I would have him seen by his doctor.
