What Do Inflammation And Sweating On The Hands Indicate?

I had an exam in September with normal liver functions. In the last month my hands have started to get red. I wake up and they are fine but then they go from red and sweaty to back to normal. It happens all day. Trying to figure out what it might be and worried about my liver as every time I look up red hands it goes to this.
