Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Any scaling or itching of palms?? Any pain or redness??
Possible causes are like scleroderma with pulmonary involvement or tinea infection of palms or silver nitrate staining or systemic vasculitis with pulmonary involvement or Raynaud's Phenomenon etc
Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.
Please get skin biopsy and send for histopathology examination and also rule out for connective tissue disorders or vasculitis syndromes.
If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
