News Topical, Digital Desk : Liver is the 'silent worker' of our body which continuously cleans our blood, digests food and removes toxins from the body without stopping. Imagine, what will happen if this 'silent worker' falls ill? Its symptoms (Liver Disease Skin Symptoms) are often mild, but if you learn to identify them, you can avoid big trouble. Let us know about such 4 important changes (Signs of Liver Problems on Skin) seen on the skin, which you should not ignore at all.
Jaundice
This is the most common and easily recognizable sign of liver disease. When the liver is unable to process bile properly, a yellow substance called bilirubin starts accumulating in the body. This is why your skin, nails and the white part of the eyes start appearing yellow. If you suddenly notice yellowing of your skin and eyes, contact a doctor immediately.
Spider Angioma
These are small, red marks visible on the skin, with a central point in the middle and thin veins spreading from it like a spider web. These usually appear on the face, neck, chest and arms. When the liver is damaged, the level of estrogen hormone increases in the body, due to which these spider angiomas start forming. If you see many such marks, do not take it lightly.
palmar erythema
Do your palms look redder than usual, especially the edges of the palms and the area under the fingers? If yes, then let us tell you that this is called palmar erythema. In liver disease, this can happen due to the expansion of blood vessels. This can also be a sign of disturbance in liver function, which needs attention.
skin itching
If you have persistent itching, especially at night, and there seems to be no specific reason for it (such as allergies or dryness), it could be a sign of a liver problem. In liver disease, bile salts can accumulate under the skin, causing itching. Sometimes the itching is so severe that it can even prevent sleep.
