What should I do if my skin appears yellow?

Yellowish skin discoloration may be associated with anemia or hyperpigmentation, and thus requires targeted management based on the underlying cause. An unbalanced diet may lead to insufficient iron intake or increased iron demand, resulting in jaundice-like skin discoloration; iron supplementation—such as ferrous gluconate—may be prescribed for correction. For hyperpigmentation, photorejuvenation (intense pulsed light therapy) can be employed to break down localized pigment deposits while simultaneously stimulating excessive collagen production, thereby improving skin tone and texture, yielding a fairer, smoother complexion.
