Patient's question:
The child is 9 years old. While washing his feet, he noticed that his soles are slightly yellow except for the center of the feet, especially the heels which are darker. It has been about one or two months. He doesn't know the reason and is seeking expert guidance. Thank you very much. What could be causing the yellowing of the child's soles?Doctor's answer:
Foot and palm discoloration: Problems with the pancreas, spleen, or liver. Sometimes the soles of the feet may turn yellow; more than half of jaundiced patients with cirrhosis may exhibit this sign, usually to a lesser degree. If it's just yellow without hardening, it's likely due to qi deficiency. To put it more clearly, it means poor blood and qi circulation, inadequate nutrient supply, and the outer layer of skin being damaged by pressure keratinization! As someone who studies health preservation knows, the feet are far from the heart, and the blood pumped from the heart to the feet is already very weak! It's recommended that you visit a hospital for a check-up to avoid further complications if the condition persists for a long time.
