A lot of acne, abnormally oily skin
Continuous blisters, especially around the chin, forehead and cheeks, may be related to fatty liver due to metabolic disorders. When the liver is no longer able to filter toxins and regulate hormones (such as androgen), sebaceous glands will work more strongly, causing the skin to secrete more oil and easily form inflammatory, persistent acne.
Dry, flaky, pale lips
The liver participates in the metabolism of vitamins and nutrients. When the liver is oily, the ability to absorb vitamins B and A decreases, making the lips easily dry, cracked, pale, and lifeless.
Blood vessels with spider webs, red face
Small blood vessels branching like spider webs on the skin (sao mach) often appear in people with severe liver damage or cirrhosis. This is a consequence of capillary dilation. In addition, liver weakness also makes estrogen not metabolized well, causing blood to rush to the facial skin, causing redness like shingles.
Dark, itchy and lifeless skin
When the liver is oily, the ability to absorb dissolved vitamins such as A and E is reduced, causing the skin to become dry, flaky and itchy. At the same time, bile salts and endocrine disorders accumulated in the blood can cause dark, patchy or dark spots on the face.
Thick tongue with moss, heavy breathing
People with poor liver function often have their tongue covered with thick moss, yellow or opaque white. Breath also has an unpleasant odor due to toxins and ammonia that are not well excreted through the liver.
Skin and white eyes turn yellow
Yellow skin and yellow eyes are familiar manifestations when liver function declines. This condition occurs because the liver does not process bilirubin in time - waste generated from the process of destroying red blood cells. When bilirubin is accumulated in the blood, it will make the facial skin and white eyes yellow.
Swollen face, big eye bags
Regularly waking up with a swollen face, especially in the cheek and eyelids, can reflect abnormal water retention. When the liver is invaded by fat, the ability to produce protein to maintain fluid pressure in blood vessels is reduced, causing fluid to spill out into soft tissue and cause prolonged edema.
