Why do I have lines running down and across my palms? Why are they there?

My college's genetic counciler mentioned that they form when you are in the womb. The creases that form depend on how often you opened your palm.\n\nPeople with down syndrome usually have an entire crease running along the entire palm.

It might just be a skin condition.. or something to do with your genetics and all that... I have that same problem.. it doesn't bother me, so i don't think you should worry.. probobly just a minor non-harmful sideffect of something.. hasn't harmed me or you yet.. so it probobly wont.. don't worry that much about it.

It sounds like you might have a low platelet level. Please tell your doctor about these spots ASAP.

Yep.  Nerves go all the way from your fingers up through your whole arm.  You probably did something funny to the nerve.  I'd see a doctor if it's not better in a couple of days.

Look closely at your finger, you will see lots of little lines. Those lines form a unique fingerprint for you. When you touch something oils from your skin leaves a "print" of your finger which can be collected and matched to you.

Ooooh....Palmer Hyperhydrosis! It's genetic. You simply have overactive sweat glands in the palms of your hands. Carry a cloth or paper towel with you. Otherwise...calm down, take it easy...control your heartrate and center your emotions.

Hi! My palms get sweaty at times too. -___-\n\nWhat I do is to wash my hands as often as possible and dry them. \n\nDoesn't seem much but hope that helps.

It sounds like you might have a pinched nerve or poor circulation. If it doesn't get better definitly seek medical attention.

OMG!  I know how you feel.  I have had veiny hands and feet forever.  I remember my dad having bulgy veins in his hands and my playing with his big 'ol veins by pushing on them and squishing them and stuff when I was little.  \n\nTurns out now I'm an adult and have the same large veins in my hands and feet.  I remember one of my parents telling me it was because we have thin skin or something about my dad being 1/4 native american indian or some malarkey.  \n\nAnyway, yes, it's totally normal and not dangerous in any way.  I\nraise my hand up and the blood drains out and then sure enough, they fill back up all yucky and big again.........  \n\nI really think that we notice it more than anyone else does. So dont worry about it.   Love yourself for who you are.

Could this be a sign of scurvy, lack of vitamin c or do you use bleach too often.  Try using gloves to do chores and moisturize your hand with cocoa butter at nights.

This sounds like poor circulation on the left side of your body.  It could even be vindictive of something more serious, just as a brain injury, tumor, or nervious disorder such as muscular distrophy or parkinson's disease.  Don't just sit around and wait for it to go away, because you could have a claught which can be life threatening.  Goto your doctor, and like as soon as you can.  This could be life threatening, or not, don't panic just seek some professional advice.

I suggest you see a doctor.  Really the only way to diagnose this would be visually.\n\nIf you are concerned about confidentiality, especially regarding close personal contact that you might have had, look for your local public health clinic of free clinic.
