Question
I noticed today that my son’s foot bottom is a bit yellow. What could be the cause? Do I need to treat it?
Answer
It is advisable to check the liver function at the hospital. Jaundice, which may be caused by hepatitis B, can lead to yellowing of the skin, with the face and hands and feet appearing yellow, the skin looking dry and lacking moisture, and giving a prematurely aged appearance. Additionally, yellowing of the skin may also be related to kidney function decline, and it is necessary to seek medical attention for a timely diagnosis.
