Check Immediately! Doctor Jed Reveals 4 Skin Signals Not to Ignore - Liver Health Warning
Dr. Jed Boonawongwirot, Deputy Director of Primary Care at Maharat Nakhon Ratchasima Hospital, shared crucial information about 4 skin signals that could warn of liver issues.
Many people focus only on blood tests, fat and sugar checks, forgetting that skin is an organ that clearly reflects liver health. The liver is central to detoxification, fat burning, hormone processing, and waste elimination. When the liver starts working hard or deteriorating, skin is often the first organ to quietly send warning signals.
4 Skin Signals to Watch:
1. Chronic Body Itching Without Rash: Especially nighttime or deep-skin itching without visible rash or allergic reaction. This is a classic sign of bile stagnation and abnormal liver detoxification.
2. Dull, Pale Skin: Yellowish, pale complexion with slight yellow eyes and dark under-eye circles, even with adequate sleep. This indicates the liver is struggling to process bilirubin and waste.
3. Unusual Skin Eruptions: Recurring acne, chronic rashes, melasma, and easy skin sensitivity, despite consistent skincare. Often caused by hormonal imbalances due to liver's impaired waste processing.
4. Visible Tiny Blood Vessels: Spider-like red spots on face, chest, and arms, indicating direct liver-related issues from estrogen buildup and abnormal blood circulation.
Liver Care Recommendations:
- Reduce sugar, refined carbs, and fried foods
- Avoid alcohol
- Consume high-quality protein
- Eat green leafy vegetables
- Drink sufficient water
- Sleep before midnight
- Control fat, sugar, and weight
- Be cautious with unnecessary medications
- Regular liver check-ups
Dr. Jed emphasizes: "Skin doesn't get sick in isolation - it's a mirror of the liver. If liver detoxification is compromised, symptoms like itching, rashes, dullness, acne, and visible blood vessels will appear. If these persist, don't just treat the skin - focus on liver health."
