16 Year Old With Reddish Sweaty Hands. Normal Blood Test Reports. Should I Be Worried?
Hi! I am sixteen years old. For a year my hands are always cold , red or purple and sweaty. They get normal only when i am sleeping at night and when i lift up my hands the redness almost dissappear but when i lift down my hands they get red in seconds. I went to a rheumatologist and did couple of blood test but all negative. I don t know what to do next. Any suggestion please? Thanks

Hi dear,
I hope all the blood tests have been done and found normal. Have you done thyroid tests ?
Consult a good dermatologist. Aluminium chlorohydrate containing lotions (eg Aldry) are used for sweaty hands and legs.
Don't worry just discuss with a dermatologist. You will be bettter.
Take care
