Acrodynia is a medical condition which occurs due to mercury poisoning. The condition of pain and dusky pink discoloration in the hands and feet is due to exposure or ingesting of mercury. It was known as Pink Disease (due to these symptoms) before it was accepted that it was just mercury poisoning.[1]
The word acrodynia is derived from the Greek: ακρος, which means end or extremity, and Greek: οδυνη, which means pain. As such, it might be (erroneously) used to indicate that a patient has pain in the hands or feet. The condition is known by various other names including hydrargyria, mercurialism, erythredema, erythredema polyneuropathy, Bilderbeck's, Selter's, Swift's and Swift-Feer disease.
