A member asked:
When i was pregnant 6 yrs ago my palms turned red and stayed that way i'm pregnant again and they're worse what is this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Red palms: Red palms can result from high levels of estrogen, as during pregnancy. There is great individual variation as to who will get noticeable changes and whether this will persist for very long after delivery. Your hands are obviously very sensitive to this particular effect of estrogen.
