What should I do if my skin turns yellow due to liver disease?
Disease description:
Dermatology
Yellowing of the skin caused by liver disease results from elevated bilirubin levels in the blood, as liver disorders impair bilirubin metabolism. Treatment should focus on managing the underlying liver condition to control disease progression. Patients are advised to pay attention to skin care, avoid direct sun exposure, and maintain healthy lifestyle habits.
Adjusting the diet and avoiding excessive intake of foods rich in carotene may also help improve skin yellowing.
