Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. He Haochen
In men, excessive liver fire may lead to a yellowish complexion. This is usually caused by excessive liver fire resulting in stagnation of liver qi, which impairs blood circulation and affects blood flow throughout the body and face. It may also be accompanied by symptoms such as lethargy. Under medical guidance, medications that clear liver heat can be used for relief; commonly used ones include Long Dan Xie Gan Wan and Huang Lian Shang Qing Wan.
