The yellowing and reddening of the palms may be caused by dietary factors, trauma, allergies, eczema, viral hepatitis, and other reasons. Patients are advised to seek medical attention at a formal hospital promptly. Depending on the specific cause, targeted treatment can be administered to facilitate recovery.
1. Dietary Factors: In daily life, frequently consuming foods high in carotenoids, such as pumpkin, carrots, mangoes, and other such items, may lead to an excess of yellow pigments on the skin surface, accompanied by yellowing and reddening of the palms. Generally, this can be managed through reasonable dietary habits by choosing to consume lighter foods such as tomatoes or bananas.
2. Trauma: When the skin is injured by impact, it can cause local capillaries to rupture, leading to blood accumulation beneath the skin, resulting in swelling and pain, and even the aforementioned symptoms. Improvements can be made through ice therapy in the early stages to constrict capillaries and reduce swelling. After 48 hours, a warm towel can be used for heat therapy to promote blood circulation and alleviate discomfort.
3. Allergies: If the palms come into contact with allergens, causing an allergic reaction, it can also be accompanied by skin swelling, itching, pain, and other symptoms, especially during recovery when the palms may yellow and redden. It is recommended to follow medical advice and use medications such as Cetirizine Dihydrochloride Tablets, Loratadine Tablets, and Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride Tablets for their anti-allergic effects.
4. Eczema: As a common skin disease, eczema may be caused by prolonged exposure to damp environments and can present with the aforementioned symptoms, and even cause local itching. It is recommended to follow medical advice and use medications such as Erythromycin Ointment, Mupirocin Ointment, and Fusidic Acid Cream for their anti-inflammatory effects.
5. Viral Hepatitis: When the liver is invaded by viruses, it may damage liver function, causing metabolic disorders and manifesting as redness and yellowing of the skin, and even pain in the liver area. Patients are advised to follow medical advice and use medications such as Ribavirin Tablets, Entecavir Tablets, and Acyclovir Tablets for their antiviral effects. During treatment, patients should rest adequately and avoid exposure to cold, as this may hinder recovery.
