A member asked:

Why my palms r really shiny can it be scleroderma?it has happened twice again.i've reynaud's too and i've noticed 2 really tiny red spots in my hands

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe but not certai: The Raynaud's is associated with thickening of the fingers the skin is tight. The red spots can be dilated blood vessels called telangectasias. You need to see a rheumatologist to clarify exactly what you have.
