Topic: strange black spots on my hand

Hello,

Two days ago, I noticed three black spots on the back of my hand, starting below my index finger and running down closer to my wrist. They are almost in a straight line.

They are one cm in diameter and are not bruises. I tested them over and over again by pressing on them, and they don't hurt at all.

I wonder if anyone has had these strange markings? I just stopped taking Chlorella because I read that some Chlorella contains mercury and I've been feeling worse lately (short of breath, difficulty breathing).

Could these be mercury spots? It's really weird.

Thanks,
electrolite

Are you taking Minocycline? Minocycline can blacken the skin. My dad has that on his hands from Mino.

Jill, I am not taking any antibiotics right now. I took Doxycycline for 20 days recently, but I'm not taking it anymore.

I just read a post about Alpha Lipoic Acid possibly causing mercury to move out of the tissues, but not be removed from your body. I've been taking Alpha Lipoic Acid (per Burrascano's recommendations) for almost two months now. Hmmm.
