How is erythromelalgia diagnosed?

There’s no specific test for diagnosing erythromelalgia. Your healthcare provider reviews your symptoms and examines any active flare-ups or photos of flare-ups. Multiple tests may be necessary to confirm your symptoms and rule out other medical issues. These include:

• Blood tests.
• Genetic testing to check for mutations responsible for the disease.
• Thermography, which uses a special camera to pinpoint differences in skin temperature.
• X-ray or other imaging studies.
