fast green stain - #18751

Shreya

I am really confused about this whole fast green stain thing. A couple of weeks ago, I went in for some tests because I started noticing weird spots on my skin, kind of greenish. At first, I thought maybe it was just some weird reaction to my laundry detergent or something dumb like that, but then I remembered a friend mentioned something about fast green stains in relation to skin issues. Honestly, my doctor didn't seem too concerned, but I can't shake the feeling that it might be connected. The fast green stains are mostly around my arms and neck, and they kinda itch sometimes. I tried to scrub them off thinking it’d just be dirt or something but no luck! I looked it up online and I saw that fast green stain is sometimes used in labs for tissue analysis, so now I'm freaking out wondering if it could mean something bad. Can something like this just appear out of nowhere? Are fast green stains contagious? What could be causing them if not a reaction? Should I get a second opinion, or just wait it out? Sorry for so many questions but I'm really worried and any info would be super helpful!
