What Causes Stains On The Hands After Child Birth?
Im 26 years old, currently still lactating my 1 1/2 yo child. I cannot seem to gain weight which is 100lb (or 5 less sometimes) and am a bit worried. Since the last year I have noticed brown stains in my hands, I thought were dryness, and applied cream daily. Sometimes it seamed less, but it never goes away. Now I have the stains in both my hands and am worried. I also have some discomfort in my lower back.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, 100lb seems to be normal weight, and no need to increase this any more, brown color of hand may not be specific for any disease but could be due to iron deficiency and iron therapy can be initiated, else this is nothing to worry, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day,
