A member asked:

I woke up with an orange patch between my right thumb and index finger. what caused this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Orange patch: Orange discoloration is quite unusual in the skin, and I wonder if something that came in contact with that area of the skin caused the discoloration. In any event have your physician examine you if the discoloration persists or spreads.
