What to Do About Discolored Arms and Palms?

Question

I recently noticed that the color of my left arm and right palm is not the same. What should I do?

Answer

Under normal circumstances, a person’s palms are usually pale red or pink, with a uniform and bright color, soft and elastic palm flesh. If the palm shows alternating shades of dark red and purple, it may be a sign of liver disease. If the palm appears with purplish-blue ecchymotic discoloration, it could be due to circulatory obstruction or heart failure. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for further examination. The above is a suggestion for the question “I recently noticed that the color of my left arm and right palm is not the same.” I hope it helps and wish you good health!
