Hi, I noticed there are some black spots on my some of my fingers over night. I don t have any food allergies. Not sure what they are, but it the first couple days only 7 out of 10 fingers have them. However, I started noticing that there are some dark sports starting on my 8th finger.

Hello,
Black spots on the fingers commonly occur due to exposure to the sun or artificial UV lights, allergy to something you might have touched.
Hyper-pigmentation can be indicative of liver dysfunction or cancer. If it is in the nails it can be due to melanonychia.
You are suggested to get physically examined by a GP. Ge evaluated so that the treatment can be started.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
