Erythematous limb pain

Erythromelalgia is an unexplained peripheral vasomotor dysfunction disease. It is clinically characterized by red, swollen, painful, and hot skin at the extremities. It occurs in the feet. In 1878, Mitchell first reported a disease characterized by redness, swelling, heat, and pain on the fingertips, and named it erythematous limb pain. In 1964, Babb et al. Divided the disease into two categories, primary and secondary. In 1995, Professor Wang Jiaju defined a class of epidemic erythematous limb pain that mainly occurred in southern China as idiopathic erythematous limb pain.
