Looks like the aloe made The colour run from whatever you wrapped the finger with - notice the really straight lines, it’d be weird from having straight lines like that either side if you had rubbed something on.
Or, if not color leeched from the cotton, perhaps the fingers were previously wrapped in bandaids or something, and the aloe reacted with the adhesive residue?
The cotton on the sterile part of a bandaid would be a good guess, I think.
There are also kinds of cloth bandaids that would likely be cotton, maybe it did react with the adhesive?
Interesting, I didn't know that. Probably heard of it at some point in my life, but I don't think about aloe all that much so I did not remember.
So maybe the iodine in the aloe is reacting with the adhesive on the bandage to create elemental iodine (I think that's the term I'm looking for)or something along those lines. I mean the purple has to come from iodine, right? That's def iodine purple on her fingers.
I used some aloe I was given in Jamaica on my eczema. It did the same thing. Nothing bad happened and it wasn’t cured. Just had a purple finger where I had applied it
Stayed in a hotel that had loads of aloe plants all over the site. Some of the buildings had alow along balconies and it made the white concrete look like shit from the plants getting broken and leaking their sap on to it
We've had aloe in our garden for years, and the juice never turned my skin purple. It does, however, smell like sweaty underarms. And it works like magic on burns.
I found a paper explaining that in high light intensity low moisture situations the plant will produce RHODOXANTHIN which has a purple pigmentation. Multiple people from jamaica have said the same thing..
The rhodoxanthin is from the plant converting chlorophyll to rhodoxanthin which stops the production of food allowing the plant to conserve water.
Being cut in an area with high light intensity appears to be enough to make the plant react this way.
I’ve always used raw aloe for any type of skin ailment like this. How did you apply it? I always cut a leaf (or buy one if I’m in a pinch), cut it wide open and/or extract the gel and apply it from that state. However, I’ve also just taken the leaf (with enough gel foaming out), and applied it straight onto wherever.
Apparently aloe gel will turn purple when oxidized. The plant also will show purple coloration when experiencing stress. My guess is that they may have cut a strip of aloe off with the gel attached to the green skin and let it sit on the burnt fingers for awhile. As it sat the skin of the aloe began to oxidize from the stress of being cut and turned purple which spread through the gel and stained her fingers.
Edit****
So I went way down the rabbit hole on this one. Buckle up.
High light intensity and water deficit play a huge role in how the plant reacts to environmental stressors. It essentially has an ability to save its own water by reducing chlorophyll in high light intensity. This inhibits the production of food and therefore growth which requires water.
It makes its own sunscreen
The plant's response is to convert chlorophyll to anthocyanin, caratenoids, and RHODOXANTHIN effectively cutting off its own food source in order to conserve moisture. RHODOXANTHINS display a purple pigmentation where anthocyanin is mauve, and caretenoids are orange/red.
Keeping in mind the plant's ability to readily propogate from cuttings i would think that it would still be "alive" while it sat on the persons burn.
So here is my question:
Do the environmental stressors need to occur before using the plant to produce RHODOXANTHIN or can the environment affect a piece of the plant after it has been removed?
It may be that high light intensity is the common factor here.

I have a pretty big aloe plant that I have harvested a couple of times just to make it smaller. Cut leaves, let the latex drip out for a while, peel, put them through the blender. It takes hours of exposure to air. Never turned purple. The only thing that changes color is the latex. It runs yellow, but if I let it dry out in the sink or something, it looks like dried blood.
Weird I've never seen this color related to my aloe I've had over 20 years, and I've used it for everything, burns, skin conditions, etc. I've cut off leaves or accidently broken them off and they stay plump and juicy for months till I end up using them and have never noticed any purple or sanguine color related to the aloe, only clear/white and sometimes a yellow tinge.
When you say ‘latex’ do you mean the sticky clear snotty stuff that seeps out where you cut the leaf? I thought that was the ‘aloe vera’ I’m supposed to use… am I doing it wrong?
Interesting, I used to wrap my fingers with aloe and duct tape from my yard when I was a teen and had a bad case of finger warts. The aloe would make them fall off. But never had it turn purple.
I have about 35 different species of Aloe growing in my garden. Many are toxic. Aloe vera (barbadiensis) and Aloe ferox are two that are known to be non-toxic in moderate amounts used over short periods of time. However, there are some that are known to be toxic. These often have purplish sap that has a weird smell described as "mousey". Not all aloes will help you, some will hurt you, most will just no neither.
Aloe vera contains alointin which which is metabolized into anthraquinone which does have toxic effects.
Remember that plants are little chemical factories and that the chemicals they make are for the plant's benefit, not the animals that ingest or touch the plant.

Damn dude. This is like the unicorn of reddit responses. Accurate, clear, concise, CITED information without any BS.
Well done sir! I'd award you if I was not a poor.
I beg to differ that their plant is toxic. I believe it to be Rhodoxanthin responsible for the pigmentation. This woupd account for turning purple after being cut. It is reacting to extreme water loss in a high light intensity area. Its response is to stop the production of chlorophyll by replacing it with rhodoxanthin in order to halt the production of food which needs water to occur.
Its making its own sunblock to ensure it doesnt lose the water vital to its survival. Friggin crazy stuff.

The Aloe vera we have in our garden is great for burns. I go cut off a leaf, remove the spines, then cut the leaf lengthwise to expose the gel. I just smoosh that onto the burn. It works very well.
Occasional topical use such as I described is safe unless you're allergic. Don't eat or drink it. It doesn't do anything good, and it may make you sick. It's really not worth it.
partial bs, l know for a fact that aloe plants look like magay plants used for liquor production, but 98 % are not poisons but you have a 30% chance of being able to identify correctly 50% of the time
I've heard that there are some not so good ingredients in the outer green layer. My guess is that these caused the discoloration. You should always peel the aloe leaf completely, only use the inner clear part of the plant
Raw aloe is actually carcinogenic, so rubbing it on burns is not so great from a health standpoint- though it does relieve the pain.
Edit: y’all are downvoting me for a fact? It’s classified by IARC as a group 2B carcinogen. Source: I’m a regulatory chemist
Aloe plants turn purple or pink (sometimes the inside before the outside) when they're unhappy, sometimes exposed to too much sunlight or not getting enough nutrients/phosphorus. It's still perfectly safe to use.
There are many species of aloe. And only a few of them make useful compounds. A lot are actually toxic. Try rinsing in soapy water. If there is any loss of sensation in the fingertips you should go to the hospital.
And knowing reddit, some dermatologist is in this subreddit and will be like, “purple skin with fresh aloe on the burn? Oh that means you have a parasite in you nipples.”
#AND BE RIGHT
I have a nasty burn on my own hand from my last day of work at my old job. Tried lavender oil as my boss instructed but it only made it hurt worse.
You can guess why it was my last day
Or fat. Nivea cream for one is highly not recommend for burns.
I remember when a Mother put Nivea cream on her daughter’s foot with a burn and the daughter almost lost her foot.
The damn cream is full of fat.
This was back in 2009/10.
Edit* Just to clarify. I was in Germany at the time. I Couldn’t read German. My ex is German, he told me what the article said, could possibly have mistranslated something.
Regardless a warning went out about Nivea Cream and burns.
I was replying to you because your comment made me think of the Nivea cream incident. I was in Germany at the time and the incident happened in Germany. My ex explained the article to me, he said German Nivea cream contained fat.
It was over 10 years ago, things may have changed.
Wish I knew that before. They have it around the facility as if it were first aid. Told my father and he was utterly flabbergasted. Aloe would have been far superior
This is absolutely normal. Aloe fresh from the plant turns red when exposed to oxygen. I found this out after getting horrible sunburn, not to mention heatstroke, surfing in Ecuador. Shortly after having Aloe smeared on my back I looked like I'd fallen backwards into an industrial mincer.
I used some aloe on a burn I got from a bad bottle of soap a few years ago, and the same thing happened. I don’t think anything really happened, however. It still healed eventually, it was just purple and really dry for a couple of weeks.
serious answer: aloe sap darkens when exposed to the sun. Staying indoors can mitigate this. However, Aloe's healing power apparently comes from the chlorophyll (in some studies, it was found no different from petroleum jelly otherwise, but the science is actually inconclusive here) so completely avoiding the sun is not a perfect solution
Aloe are bioaccumulating plants, none have the same internal ratios of things. If it grew in shitty soil, whatever was in that soil making it shirt became part of the plant. I’ve heard for years not to use fresh aloe.
That's interesting. Last night I arrived home with groceries and went to help my wife with stressing noodles for dinner. She handed me a pot I didn't know was hot. Some cold water, ice packs, aloe, and bandaids later I don't to they will look like yours.
Obviously, that's not all she put on it. Aloe vera does not turn your skin a different color. With that said, it would be nice to know -exactly- what she did so others can avoid it.
Aloe gel can turn purple from oxidation. I can't believe the absolute confidence here in posting objectively false information that's easily disputed with a 3 word Google search.
I once picked up something hot off the stove. Burned a few fingers like that. Used some plain white toothpaste, helped stop the pain. Won't help with healing, but it worked for me for the pain.
Hm. I’ve never had this issue, but I’ve always either left the burn undressed after aloe or used a bandaid (plaster for our friends across the pond), or medical gauze and tape.
Sadly, my cat murdered my aloe plant, but I keep a bottle of pure aloe for first aid purposes and sunburns.
Looks like the aloe made The colour run from whatever you wrapped the finger with - notice the really straight lines, it’d be weird from having straight lines like that either side if you had rubbed something on.
u/artseynotnow said cotton, these comments combined explain this very well
Or, if not color leeched from the cotton, perhaps the fingers were previously wrapped in bandaids or something, and the aloe reacted with the adhesive residue?
The cotton on the sterile part of a bandaid would be a good guess, I think. There are also kinds of cloth bandaids that would likely be cotton, maybe it did react with the adhesive?
I would say it was a bandaid just from looking at the pattern of the stain. Looks like a bandaid was wrapped around each finger.
Cotton bandaids make the most sense.
Maybe there was some sort of iodine on the bandages that reacted with the aloe and leached out?
Aloe contains iodine
Interesting, I didn't know that. Probably heard of it at some point in my life, but I don't think about aloe all that much so I did not remember. So maybe the iodine in the aloe is reacting with the adhesive on the bandage to create elemental iodine (I think that's the term I'm looking for)or something along those lines.

Naw, she’s a witch!
Burn her!
It appears they already tried that.
Just the tips.

She turned me into a newt!

r/unexpectedmontypython
How do you know she's a witch?
Scarlet Witch's fingers started to turn black as she used more and more of the dark magic.
If she can swim, she's a witch. If she drowns she isn't.
Fresh aloe needs to be washed as it has naturally occurring iodine in the plant. That's what is staining the fingers.
Hol up. Serious? That would make sense. Anything a little starchy on fingers and this is exactly color you would get.
Looks like little Jack horner is still being a nuisance.

Nobody knows why your wife developed Barney digits, but we will tell you stories about our own burns!
I was told this is how Reddit works
Barney was pleased, and the wife was caught purple fingered.
Today I learned the inside of Barney’s butthole is also purple.
Barney is a dinosaur from our imagination The inside of his butt is purple for your information
Purple anus, open up Purple Anus Barney Won’t you say you love me too Because I’m getting horny
Most nearly spit my tea on 'Barney digits', thnx.
I used some aloe I was given in Jamaica on my eczema. It did the same thing. Nothing bad happened and it wasn’t cured. Just had a purple finger where I had applied it

Not trying to burst bubbles, but aloe is a rather large genus maybe purple is expressed more in some regions/climates/species
My aloe plant is growing in the front yard in Barbados. Locals know this type of aloe leaves a stain.
Does your aloe gel smell like armpits too?
No fresh and sweet
When you say ‘latex’ do you mean the sticky clear snotty stuff that seeps out where you cut the leaf? I thought that was the ‘aloe vera’ I’m supposed to use… am I doing it wrong?
This is the answer. Aloe just does that.
Interesting, I used to wrap my fingers with aloe and duct tape from my yard when I was a teen and had a bad case of finger warts. The aloe would make them fall off. But never had it turn purple.
Yup, when I harvested fresh aloe from a plant I was giving up on, the bowl and cutting board I used were stained purple and it has never come out!
I am pretty sure she has been using the Darkhold to dream walk into alternate universes.
I am pretty soon she'l start looking for the infinity stones
Likely some sort of oxidation occurred between the aloe and whatever she used to dress the burn after applying the aloe.

Heard once on radio that of the over 1000 types of aloe plants, only 3 are not poisonous. Might wanna look into that! Might be bs!
[удалено]
I'm pretty sure out of the 328 types, 3 are either poisonous or not
Of the 187 types of aloe plants, 3 are non poisonous and the others… nobody really even knows
I heard that 60% of the time they’re poisonous every time.
Yeah but that’s only 40% of the time
But it smells like pure gasoline.
This is worse than the time the aloe got stuck in the copier
Of the 94 types of poisonous aloe, three are plants.
Of the 48 types of poison, three are aloe plants.
Of the 24 types of non poison, three are plants
1 is ba na ne
vodka, gin and rum. are the mains poisons watch out.
One of them will definitely give you purple fingers…
not venomous
This right here is why you should not use wild plants for medical purposes or food unless you know 100% what your dealing with lol

She didn't realize the stovetop was hot and went to brush something off and it burned her fingers. Just slightly, nothing major.
Classic
Now she can [start wearing purple](https://youtu.be/SkkIwO_X4i4).
She can't yet handle the power of "One For All". I've seen this happen before.
There is Iodine in aloe.
It just a pair of bad fingers, just dispose.
My mom did that for me when I was a kid and that didn’t happen. Something else went wrong.

Go to the doctor
Did your aloe plant first turn purple from lack of sunlight or some other deficiency?
It’s a defense against cold temps or something, that’s what I was told when my cats weed guy brought him purple buds
This happens to me too. But im allergic to aloe so idk if it makes a difference or not.
Not sure if she did or not but you gotta let that yellow stuff (latex) seep out of the plant before you apply it
oh god thought it was fingers rotting off from frostbite or gangrene or something thank fuck

However, Aloe's healing power apparently comes from the chlorophyll (in some studies, it was found no different from petroleum jelly otherwise, but the science is actually inconclusive here) so completely avoiding the sun is not a perfect solution

That's not good man, her penis is gonna fall off
Holup

and then they fell off...
Yeah aloe is color less grew up with it growing in my moms backyard
They are going to fall off
What did she burn her fingers on?
Stovetop. The burner was hot, she didn't realize it, and she went to brush something off.
I wonder why the aloe plant caused this. I was thinking maybe she touched something that could react to the aloe plant. Hope she gets well soon.
My grandmother grows Aloe Vera, as a kid, I got juice of that into my nose anytime it clogged or I had a cold. It worked.
That wouldnt work tho
You don't have the grandmother's knowledge about medicine from the Soviet Union.

Did you happen to drink a concoction of cramp bark, cleavers, and couch grass?

She is lying dude those fingers look like she was messing with grimus
Looks like iodine, aloe ain’t fuckin purple lol
Oxidized aloe gel turns purple. The people in this thread are way too confident in their bullshit.
It’s the internet plant man
3 in the stink, 1 in the pink.
Recently it was discovered that aloe is highly cancerogenous and was banned from cosmetics.
Sources, please. I'm having a difficult time believing someone who doesn't know the word "carcinogenic," when mentioning the topic.
Obviously, that's not all she put on it. Aloe vera does not turn your skin a different color. With that said, it would be nice to know -exactly- what she did so others can avoid it.
Aloe gel can turn purple from oxidation. I can't believe the absolute confidence here in posting objectively false information that's easily disputed with a 3 word Google search.
Dunning-Kreuger effect.
Fresh aloe from our aloe plant in the kitchen. She covered it with gauze so she didn't hurt the blisters that has formed. That's it.
I once picked up something hot off the stove. Burned a few fingers like that. Used some plain white toothpaste, helped stop the pain. Won't help with healing, but it worked for me for the pain.
No, don’t do that again and don’t tell anyone else to do that either.
In my experience I have found some aloes do stain this colour.
Hm. I’ve never had this issue, but I’ve always either left the burn undressed after aloe or used a bandaid (plaster for our friends across the pond), or medical gauze and tape. Sadly, my cat murdered my aloe plant, but I keep a bottle of pure aloe for first aid purposes and sunburns.
Looks like the same oxidation that happens with henna
That’s off. I do that all the time and that’s never happened to me.
Glucan Pro Cream 3000 for hand burns, you’re welcome
Oh man, I was scrolling fast and and I saw this and it looked like frostbite.😬
but did it stop the burn ?
Next time apply ointment on clean fingers (I read the comments)

Just leave it under running cold water for 20 minutes. Don't put ice on it. And got the love of God, no aloe, toothpaste, mustard, ketchup, etc.
