Pink Palms
I just went to my first visit with my specialist. They took my blood and told me in about 10 days they would contact me. Only one thing that concerned him was my pink palms. Does anyone know anything about what this means? I was startled and should have asked. Just caught me off guard
Red palms are known as palmar erythma (red palms) and is caused by retaining fluids that make your skin stretch ....... sometimes tiny capillaries burst and someimes the skin is stretched so that it becomes thinner and more visual.
On my first dr. appt. one of the first things he did was look at my hands. He called it liver palms. I do have cirrhosis. Not sure how much damage you have before it shows up.
I too have pink palms. I asked several doctors what was going on and nobody knew except my liver doctor. She said it is a common indication of liver disease. I am at stage 2.
