red palms (palma eytherma) can be from liver disease but other things can cause it including pregnancy.

The red palms (palmar erythma) are usually caused by fluid being retained - frequently there will also be a red band around the abdomen...

Therapy is to treat the cause........no specific measures

I don't think so!
Fluid retention (ascites) in cirrhosis is caused by portal hypertension and low albumin.
Palmar erythema is caused ny hormonal imbalance

I think it could be one of a lot of things, see a doctor to find out. About 1 month after completing treatment, I started to have an issue with my palms / fingers (burning - touching paper is very hard, and redness). At first, doctors thought might be a fungus, but anti fungals did not work. then, tried a steroid, but it did not work. In my case, it is nerve damage (confirmed by symptoms, including more pain when cold) that restricts blood to the finger / palm. The nerve damage might be in my neck (not clear). There doesn't seem to be much that can be done (anti-depressens can help some people by affected nerves - but I'm not fond of such medication). Hopefully you have something treatable though.
