Q: Small Brown Spots

I noticed a small 1.5mm dark brown / black spot on my left hand index finger about 2 weeks ago and thought nothing of it until an exact spot appeared on my right hand index finger in exactly the same place.
Any ideas ?

Hello,
i have these same spots it seems. One just on the inside of my right hand, where the first finger knuckle is (above the webbing) and one on the edge of my left palm. I also noticed one on my 18 month old daughters right forefinger. Really strange. I have had at least one of mine for years now, but am interested in what they are now that my daughter has one.

Have you heard anything on this?

They went after about a month before the doctor found out what they were. Don't think it was serious but i'd get them checked out especially on your daughter
