For the same reason why your hands and feet look whiter if you have just spent a lot of time in a warm tub - moisture absorbed by the skin. It turns the skin slightly more opaque, and you cannot see the redness of the blood underneath.

The bandage restricts blood flow to the finger, after removing the bandage it takes a while for the white blood cells to retreat from the surface

the melanoma thats on the surface of your dead skin cells. when u put on a bandage, your skin gets moist under there, so when you take off the bandage the part that has the glue rips off the dead cells and shows a fresh layer. the part that does have the glue is just still moist and hasnt had anytime to try and show the color of the cells. on black ppl ..i just dont know hehe

I would think that the uncovered parts of your body receives some sunshine while the portion under the band aid does not. Therefore it looses "it's" tan.
Actually, there has to be more than that. Perhaps the composition of the band aid bleaches the skin out.
Good luck. Pops

White blood cells momentarily surfacing due to the pressure.
