I have noticed the palms of my had turn red on and off for about a month?

I have noticed the palms of my had turn red on and off for about a month. I am 67 just had a CMP test everything within normal range. The reason I noticed was there is a small nodule under my ring finger that appears to be extending towards the finger. No pain or discomfort at all. My Dr. said she thought it was a cyst, I’ve had many cysts, this does not feel like one, as it is extending to the finger. She said the red palms were probably a circulation, and I take drugs that could be a factor. However, I have been taking the same drugs for 10 years. I do use a lot of prednisone for nasal pollups.

Hi.
Thanks for the query..

Redness in palms can be due to circulation issues, however if there is any itching associated with it then it can be some kind of allergic reaction..

A nodule on finger can be a cyst or bone hypertrophy..

A clinical examination and an x ray can help in confirmation of the nature of the cyst..

So my suggestion is to get checked accordingly..

In case if it is a cyst it can be removed if it is annoying for you..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
