Patient's question:
My father has always loved smoking. It has been over ten years now. When I came home during my vacation, I noticed his lips were black. I had never seen his lips like this before. So, I want to ask an expert if this could be a hepatic angioma or other liver diseases.Doctor's answer:
Black lips may not necessarily be caused by liver problems. However, they can also be caused by issues in other parts of the body, such as the respiratory system. It is recommended that you take him to a regular hospital for liver and bile duct color Doppler ultrasound, liver function tests, chest X-rays, etc. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment will be provided based on the diagnosis. Smoking is harmful to health. Excessive alcohol consumption can easily lead to liver damage. Therefore, it is usually best to quit smoking and drinking, and prioritize a light diet.
