Introduction
Redness of the palms resembling liver palms after exercise may be caused by physiological factors, or pathological conditions such as capillary dilation or cholinergic urticaria. Treatment can involve general management and medication. Exercise or physical labor can lead to capillary dilation and congestion, accelerating blood flow. It is important to get adequate rest and avoid strenuous activity.
Redness of the palms after exercise resembling liver palms may be caused by physiological factors, or pathological conditions such as telangiectasia or cholinergic urticaria. Treatment can involve general management and medication. Specific details are as follows:
I. Physiological Factors
Physical activity or strenuous labor can lead to capillary dilation and congestion, accelerating blood flow and resulting in red palms. It is recommended to get adequate rest and avoid intense exercise.
II. Pathological Factors
1. Telangiectasia
This is a genetic disorder. Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet radiation or stimulation from temperature changes (hot or cold) may cause redness on the skin. Under medical guidance, topical medications such as tretinoin cream or salicylic acid ointment can be applied for treatment.
2. Cholinergic Urticaria
This condition is primarily triggered by increased core body temperature due to exercise, heat exposure, or emotional stress, which causes acetylcholine to act on mast cells and induce symptoms. The aforementioned palm redness may occur. Under medical supervision, medications such as cetirizine hydrochloride tablets or loratadine tablets can be used for treatment.
In addition to the above causes, conditions such as psoriasis, palmoplantar pustulosis, or tinea manuum may also be responsible. Pay attention to dietary adjustments and avoid consuming spicy or greasy foods.
