Disease description:
Recently, when doing my morning skincare routine, I've noticed my face looks more yellowish than before. My husband said it might be due to excessive liver fire. I'd like to consult whether this condition is indeed caused by excessive liver fire.

Yellowish discoloration of the face may be due to excessive liver fire. This is usually caused by frequently consuming spicy and irritating foods, long-term illness damaging the liver, or prolonged feelings of anger. However, it may not necessarily be excessive liver fire—it could also be due to insufficient qi and blood, commonly resulting from lack of physical activity,长期 inadequate nutrition intake, or excessive physical strain.
