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

[Thisnamechanger]

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

Any ideas at all MN??

Do you wear an eye mask to sleep? New ones can leave dye marks on your pillow

I’ve had the toothpaste thing happen to me too - nightmare to clean off the sink

I use this when I remember but it a sort of yellow not blue

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

Good thinking! Pillow is new.

Investigation commencing...

concretesieve I wonder if the Celts had the same problem as OP? Oops, forgot to take my war paint off!

Have you tried wetting the pillow? Or mixing with your washing powder with spit, an interaction with the enzymes may cause the blue colour.

Have you got royal blood? Have you injured yourself and you're bleeding?

I bet it's that Ordinary stuff. What colour is the bedding (when it's not blue)?

Retro eyeshadow/mascara that you didn't take off? Modern day equivalent of woad!

I never thought I'd say this but I'm off to spit on some washing powder

I like the blue bloody idea #fancy

This reminds me of the time we turned one of our sons blue. We’d bought him a new duvet set from Amazon, that even after washing would turn him blue when he sweated during the night! It was a nightmare to get off his skin too, he looked like a Smurf for a good few days.

Have also just licked my pillow like a nutcase.

You are actually Braveheart aren’t you

Do you own a toddler?

If not, my vote is you are half Smurf...

You are a synth

Toothpaste that goes blue is probably whitening toothpaste - like the blue brighteners in laundry detergent

Is it just you having this issue? Or is the whole household turning smurf?

Is it just you having this issue? Or is the whole household turning smurf?

Just me DP appears to be a stuff free zone!

Pillow is a portal to the world in Avataar - you fall through during the night and have been snogging the face of a nine foot blue being, leaving snog residue on the pillow in the morning.

There, have I solved it? It’s always the simplest answer in the end I.e. mine you know?

😂
Sorry OP! But I’m laughing so hard at the mental image of you licking your pillow.
No idea, sorry, have you got a pic?

Are they new pillow cases?

When I was pregnant I had underwear that went blue (white cotton) strange trip to maternity unit and never got to the bottom of it

I think it's the material though rather than you...

There is a real condition called Chromhidrosis that causes blue coloured sweat from your face and / or your armpits. Are any of your clothes stained blue in the pit or collar area?

The Colgate toothpaste that goes blue unexpectedly is Colgate proof. It’s like disclosing tablet toothpaste I think.

It makes a horrible mess of your sinks when combined with children.

According to doctor Google it's either bochulism, cyanide poisoning or I'm an octopus.

Colgate proof

The you being an octopus is a highly likely scenario.
