What Is Palmar Erythema?
Palmar erythema is a reddening of the palms, especially around the base of the little finger and thumb. A number of medical conditions can cause this clinical sign, and some people also experience such reddening when they are in normal health. When palmar erythema is identified in a patient, a doctor may recommend some follow up tests to determine the cause if the patient has no known medical condition which could cause reddening of the palms.
