Question
A patient has had a yellowish complexion since childhood, not limited to the face, with the entire body showing this coloration and very little blood color. The patient inquires whether medical examination is necessary and, if so, approximately how much the cost would be.
Answer
Dear patient, regarding your skin issue, if there are no discomforts in daily life, it may be due to congenital genetic yellow skin. It is recommended to maintain good living habits and engage in moderate exercise. However, if the yellowing of the skin occurs over a short period, such as in cases of certain hepatitis and other diseases, it is advisable to go to the hospital for a check-up. If you wish to undergo examination, it is suggested to go to a large hospital for routine blood tests, liver function tests, and liver and gallbladder ultrasound examinations to confirm any abnormalities.
