A painful condition of the extremities, especially the hands and feet, characterized by burning pain and redness.
From Greek 'akron' (extremity) + 'melos' (limb) + 'algos' (pain). This medical term combines Greek roots to literally name 'extremity-limb-pain,' describing the condition's primary symptom.
Acromelalgia is sometimes called 'erythromelalgia of the extremities'—the burning pain is so intense that sufferers sometimes dunk their hands in ice water for relief!
