Patient's question:
I noticed that my son's soles of the feet are a bit yellow today. What could be the reason for this? Is there a need for treatment?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that you go to the hospital to check your liver function, as only your hands, feet, and skin are yellow. Are your sclera (the white part of your eyes) yellow? Is your first morning urine yellow? There is a disease that causes yellow hands, feet, and skin called jaundice hepatitis (hepatitis B), which is characterized by yellow skin, yellow face, yellow hands, dry skin that looks lack of moisture, and makes people appear prematurely aged. Yellow skin is also related to the decline of kidney function. The yellowing is governed by the kidneys, and the deficiency of kidney essence and insufficient qi and blood can lead to yellowing! It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a check-up to feel at ease.
