Patient's question:
The palm shows a red and white interweaving pattern, with white spots appearing on the back of the hand. It doesn't hurt or itch. When the back of the hand and arm are lowered, the congestion becomes noticeable, but it returns to normal after being raised. Is there a problem with the liver?Doctor's answer:
The red and white alternation on the palm is definitely not liver disease; at most, it's a problem with qi and blood. I hope you don't worry too much. You can have a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner feel your pulse. If there's a problem with the liver, the base of your fingers will show pinkish rosy spots that fade when pressed. When this condition appears on the palm, it is usually due to seasonal reasons, causing red and white alternation. This is formed by the interweaving of blood vessels and fat in the palm and is not related to liver disease-induced symptoms like liver palms and spider angiomas.
