What is Palmar Erythema?
Palmar erythema is a skin condition causing redness on the palms of the hands and occasionally the fingers. There are several possible causes. It can be idiopathic (no known cause), hereditary, seen during pregnancy, or caused by certain medications. It can also be caused by a wide variety of underlying conditions, including but not limited to liver disease (i.e., cirrhosis), autoimmune disease, endocrine disease (such as thyroid disease or diabetes), and infection.
Treatment of Palmar Erythema
Treatment mainly involves treating the underlying cause of the palmar erythema which may or may not lead to improvement of the redness.
