Introduction
Red patches on the palms may be caused by allergic eczema, hemangioma, tinea (skin fungus), or other reasons, and treatment should be based on the specific underlying cause. Allergic eczema may occur after exposure to allergens. In addition, such symptoms could also result from contact urticaria, spider angiomas, or lupus erythematosus. It is recommended that patients visit a hospital to determine the exact cause and receive timely treatment.

Red patches on the palms may be caused by allergic eczema, hemangioma, tinea (skin fungus), or other reasons, and treatment should be based on the specific underlying cause. Detailed analysis is as follows:

1. Allergic Eczema

Allergic eczema may occur after exposure to allergens, presenting as small red bumps on the skin accompanied by itching. Under a doctor's guidance, oral medications such as cetirizine hydrochloride tablets, loratadine tablets, and chlorpheniramine maleate tablets may be used.

2. Hemangioma

Exposure to harmful substances during early pregnancy may allow toxins to enter the fetus through the placenta, potentially leading to conditions such as hemangiomas. These can manifest as strawberry-like lesions or congestive plaques in affected individuals. Treatment options include medications such as propranolol hydrochloride tablets or prednisone tablets, as recommended by a physician, or procedures such as laser therapy or surgical excision.

3. Tinea (Skin Fungus)

Fungal infection of the skin may also result in red patches covered with silvery-white scales. Under medical supervision, antifungal medications such as fluconazole capsules, ketoconazole capsules, or itraconazole capsules may be taken orally.

In addition, red patches could also be due to contact urticaria, spider angiomas, lupus erythematosus, or other conditions. It is recommended that patients seek timely medical evaluation at a hospital to determine the exact cause and receive prompt, appropriate treatment.
