What signs of disease can be seen in a person's face?

Purple-blue: When the skin color turns purple, it is often the first sign of cyanosis. It is mainly caused by abnormal amounts of acid and oxygen in the blood; this color will appear on the skin when the heart's blood circulation system is poor, the respiratory organs are injured, or there are changes in the blood itself. The parts of the body where blue is most likely to appear are the lips, fingernails, toes, ears, cheeks, tip of the nose, etc., among which the lips have the highest appearance rate.

Dark brown: The skin and mucous membranes (such as oral mucosa) sometimes turn dark brown, and special attention should be paid at this time. Representative diseases include kidney disease and liver cirrhosis. Cancer and more special cases such as silver acid poisoning can cause the skin to turn dark brown. In cirrhosis of the liver, even the front of the hands, forearms, and neck will appear this color, and the color will deepen as the disease worsens.

Yellow: The skin color of Chinese people is originally yellow-white, so unless you pay special attention, you will often ignore it when the skin turns yellow. A representative disease with such skin changes is jaundice. Generally speaking, when we mention jaundice, we know that it is a disease caused by liver abnormalities. The key to identifying this yellow color is to observe it under sunlight during the day, and it will be clear at a glance. It is often difficult to detect at night or under fluorescent lights.

White: Part of the skin color turns unusually white due to the influence of melanin. When the skin appears unusually white, it can be detected immediately. Albinism is often congenital, but there are still many patients with albinism. When albinism occurs suddenly, it is caused by the reduction of melanin and the loss of skin pigment. But there is no need to worry too much, because there are many treatment methods. The most important thing is to find a specialized doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

Flushed face: occurs in times of fever, humiliation, anger, or mental excitement, with fever being the most important. The symptoms are red face, accompanied by sweating, and moist and shiny eyes. This is caused by the accelerated blood flow in the skin. Another example is polycythemia, which can also cause this kind of facial features, but the face is almost dark red.

Pale face: This phenomenon may occur in cases of anemia, mental stress, exhaustion, major disappointment or setbacks. Generally speaking, pale complexion caused by anemia is often overlooked by people.
