Overview
Palmar erythema is reddening of the palms at the thenar and hypothenar eminences. It is associated with various physiological as well as pathological changes, the principal one of which is portal hypertension. It is also seen in patients with liver dysfunction.
Causes
Palmar erythema may also be the result of dermatoses such as eczema or psoriasis. It may also be a normal finding. It has been attributed to high estrogen levels.
