A dull or sallow complexion may result from renal insufficiency or impaired liver function, but spleen deficiency is also a possible cause. If spleen deficiency is present, it can lead to an unattractive complexion and affect overall appearance. Patients are generally advised to visit a reputable hospital for routine blood tests and stool examinations; treatment plans should then be formulated based on the test results.
