Errm...my face is leaking blue stuff?!

This sounds insane but over the last two weeks or so I've noticed bright blue marks on my pillow. The kind of colour of that Carex blue handwash. Isn't makeup as I only wear black, nor toothpaste/mouthwash and all my toothpaste is white. What the hell could it be Shock

Any ideas at all MN??

Washing powder grains that haven't dissolved in the wash but which get turned into liquid by your nocturnal drool?

Maybe it's your dreams, gradually leaking from your soul in the dead of night.

I'm going to go and pour out some of the granuals now! How could they survive the wash but not a teensy bit of night time dribblage. Even if I did do that, which I don't might

Granuals have a very tiny number of purple ones but they are definitely purple, smell of lavender and don't dissolve easily.

Any more theories?? It's so weird!

noleslie actually laughed out loud at that!

No idea what it could be OP but let us know if you work it out (or if you turn in to smurfette)

Chromhidrosis?

I kept finding weird blue stains in my sink that I couldn't pinpoint to anything as we used plain soap and white toothpaste. Turned out there was some stuff in the Colgate toothpaste that went blue when i brushed my teeth with it. The blue streaks were a real pain to wash off the sink. Could it be that?

dontforgetto · 20/12/2018 21:36

What size are the marks? I feel we need an equivalent to a blood spatter analyst so that we can discern how the marks were made.

I've got blue biro marks on mine from where I've dozed off doing the crossword.

Bunnybigears · 20/12/2018 21:43

Is it something coming out of the pillow rather than your face?

You're the reincarnation of an ancient Briton - it's woad.
