Hi this has just happened to me, and when I told my family my two sons had it happen last night and my partner had it happen a couple of days ago. Suddenly got really itchy and had this light white powder like residue appear on my on my hands, with a real burning uncomfortable sensation. My nose then started to burn and then a white powder like substance appeared on my nose as well.  Super weird, I've never experienced anything like it before.

Well maybe it is a food allergy or intolerance?!
I am sensitive to histamine. I had not that symptom but I know that skin rashes are possible because it depends on the person. She should check it up with an allergist. If it's really histamine, I would recommend Daosin!

best of luck

This has happened to me a number of times.  Mines came about because I add bleach to my dish water when I wash my dishes.  I had an allergic reaction from the bleach, the white spots and stinging.  This time I had an open sore on my finger from eczema, hand in bleach and then used the perioxide to try to get the white spots out and made it worst.  I, like everyone else got nervous, went to the Internet, read these post and realized what I've done.  
What I did to make it better I mixed app,e cider vinegar and bentonite clay together, made a paste and put all over my fingers and hands.  It pulsated as it pulled out the bleach.  I washed it off after a half hour and the white spots were gone.  I hope thi works for someone else.  Thanks for the post.  I love it when we can really help one another.
