Help me to identify this mystery thing on my skin!!

So I noticed I have this patch of colour on my palm. I can’t say how long it’s there exactly but it’s been definitely been at least a week, almost positive it’s more than that.
It kinda appeared there. It looks like kinda like paint or some sort of thing. Or when you burn your skin you see all the skin lines, that’s what it looks like. Also it’s definitely brown colour but appears more red in the pictures.

I will say straight away :

  • I don’t do any form of self tan
  • I haven’t coloured my hair or touched any sort of permanent colour
  • its not burned skin but definitely looks like it when the skin is in the healing stages

I literally haven’t touched anything that would leave this kinda of a mark. Its not coming off with washing or scrubbing and haven’t for a at least a week obviously!
it doesn’t hurt or have no texture at all, I can’t feel it when touching, just skin.

what is it?? My mind is going to skin cancer places already!

Help me to identify this mystery thing on my skin!!

I’m sure it’s not that. It literally looks like a stained skin after you colour your hair or after fake tan, that’s sort of look.
