Default Is red, burning skin neuropathy?

Hi everybody.

The neuropathy in my feet has vastly improved over the past week, ever since beginning an extremely low carb diet. (keto) but now I am having issues with my hands, of course.

My hands are burning and feel almost tender, like it's even hard to open a pill bottle without them hurting. They almost feel like they've been sunburnt. The thing is, it's only on my palms and inside of my fingers and the skin there is BRIGHT red. My skin looks truly agitated. The only thing that makes it feel better is if I run my hands under cold water.

I can only assume this is the neuropathy spreading to my hands, but it feels really different than the neuropathy that is in my feet. My feet are numb, tingly, and WERE burning (haven't been at all since I cut out sugar and carbs) but my hands feel different, like a different kind of burning and my feet never turned red like this.

I can't find much info on the web about neuropathy turning your skin red, but I'm sure it's capable of it. Any ideas or anybody else experience this, too?
