Palmer Erythema

Palmer Erythema

Palmar erythema is a skin condition that makes the palms of your hands turn red. It can be hereditary but can also be the result of a variety of health conditions. It's also relatively common during pregnancy due to high estrogen level. Palmar erythema is also known as liver palms, red palms, or Lane's disease. Palmar erythema is commonly associated with liver diseases, such as liver cirrhosis, hemochromatosis, and Wilson disease. Some liver conditions are hereditary, while others may be influenced by diet and lifestyle choices, such as drinking alcohol. There is no specific treatment to cure red palms caused by palmar erythema. Treatment involves finding and addressing the underlying cause of the condition. Once the underlying cause is treated, the redness in the palms may go away partially or entirely.
