Does having red palms mean your liver is bad?

Yesterday notice both the palms of my hands red and a little blotchy, I'm just concerned thinking that it's weird. This morning I woke up with vertigo, I'm guessing it's just a coincidence? What else could cause the palms of your hands to be red?

Possible Causes:
Liver issues – Sometimes, but not always, linked to liver problems.
Blood flow changes – Your medications (like beta blockers) can affect circulation.
Allergy or irritation – Soaps, lotions, or cleaning products might be the cause.
Skin conditions – Dry skin, eczema, or allergies can make palms red.
Hormones – Changes in the body can cause redness.
What You Can Do:
Look for other symptoms – If you feel very tired, have yellow skin, or swelling, see a doctor.
Avoid new soaps or lotions – They could be irritating your skin.
Drink water – Dry skin can make redness worse.
See a doctor – Since you also have vertigo, it's good to get checked.
If the redness stays, gets worse, or comes with other symptoms, see a doctor. Need skin help? Irvine Skin can assist. Call us or visit Irvine Skin for expert care.
