Question
A 9-year-old girl has yellow feet but her palms are not showing the same symptom. She has always had a good appetite. Could this be due to a lack of certain trace elements or other reasons?
Answer
If the girl’s palms do not turn yellow and it is only her feet that are yellow, this could be due to consuming a large amount of foods like oranges, carrots, or other colored substances, rather than being a sign of a trace element deficiency. It is recommended to check for trace elements for the girl. If her daily diet is balanced, there is no need to worry excessively. Just ensure she consumes a balanced diet and eats plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits.
