Please doctor , my son is 15 years old . from two months i saw that the back of his hands turn red when down by side from watch line to the fingers and when he elevate them ,they turn to normal colour. he was not like this before .no diseases.thanks?

Vasodilation: It maybe normal and the red color may be caused by flushing or vessels in the skin dilating. If he is otherwise well, without fever and able to exercise, he is probably fine. Please have your pediatrician check his cardiac exam and blood pressure.
