You can know whether your liver is good or not by looking at the appearance on your face: black or yellowish dull face, spider nevi on your face, yellowing of the whites of your eyes, poor skin elasticity and roughness, acne, spots, etc. . The liver plays an important role in our body, so problems with it can have systemic effects on our body. The most obvious part is the face.
Facial complexion
The most typical manifestation of liver disease is the gradual darkening of the skin on the face. Some patients will have facial yellowing symptoms, which is often called jaundice. This skin tone has a different appearance than our tanned skin. This condition will make your skin look dull instead of rosy, showing a relatively gray skin state, especially around the eye sockets, and the yellowing and blackening will be more serious. This kind of face is more common in patients with liver disease, especially those with chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis. It can disappear as the condition improves after liver treatment.
Spider nevus appears on the face
Generally speaking, it is a red mark that looks like a small spider. It often appears on the faces of patients with liver disease and has the same symptoms as many liver diseases. But more commonly in people with hepatitis, it turns a small red dot into a radiating pattern. When you press the spider nevus, it will disappear, but as long as you relax, the force will return to its original state, and there will be no obvious pain when pressing. It is also known as the face of liver disease.
The white part of the eyes turns yellow
What many people don’t know is that jaundice is also one of the basic manifestations of liver disease. The most obvious change is that it can turn your skin and eyes yellow, especially in the white parts of our eyes. What's the reason for it? That's because of liver damage or liver disease, and it gets worse as the condition worsens. In severe cases, systemic skin yellowing can occur, which is also one of the manifestations of liver disease.
Poor skin elasticity and roughness
The above facial changes are relatively common. Another sign of liver contents is the dilation of facial capillaries and the appearance of capillary striae. After this problem occurs, it is not only easy to peel off, but also easy to crack. The elasticity of pressing will also be reduced. At the same time, your skin will also appear obvious discoloration, such as turning orange, which is mainly due to severe hepatitis. If your skin appears yellow-green or brown, it is often caused by liver obstruction and is therefore a specific manifestation of liver disease.
Acne
Hepatotoxicity is profound. If the toxins in the body are not eliminated in time, they will remain in our body. For a long time, this will lead to endocrine disorders in our body, strong secretion of sebum and oil, and endocrine disorders and oil metabolism will lead to acne and acne.
Spots
Liver poisoning can cause qi stagnation and blood stasis, blockage of meridians, blood stasis, and spots. This is why many patients with liver disease have yellow faces and spots, which are all caused by liver toxicity. People who are depressed for a long time can develop liver qi stagnation. The liver is the main source of bowel movement, and stagnation of liver qi will lead to imbalance of qi throughout the body. The operation time inside and outside does not last long, and the garbage in the body cannot be cleaned in time. If it accumulates in the body for a long time, spots will appear on the face.
