Hello, yellowish skin discoloration may result from an underlying medical condition or from consuming certain foods. It may also be due to infrequent physical activity or a physiological, congenital tendency toward yellow-tinged skin. If the discoloration is caused by disease, prompt medical evaluation and treatment are essential. Regular exercise helps improve overall health and prevent illness; additionally, increasing intake of fresh fruits and vegetables is recommended. We hope this information is helpful—wishing you good health!
