If your hands are turning yellow, then be careful. This can be a sign of some internal disease developing in the body. Ignoring it can be costly. Yellowing of hands may seem like a minor thing, but it can be an early warning of many serious diseases. There can be not one but many reasons behind this. Let us know how dangerous this problem is and how we can avoid it...
Reasons for yellowing of hands
1. Jaundice
The most common reason can be jaundice, in which the amount of a substance called bilirubin increases in the body. Its effect is first seen on the eyes and skin, especially yellowing of the palms of the hands can be an early sign.
2. Anemia
Hands can also turn yellow due to anemia i.e. lack of blood. If there is a lack of iron in the body, then the supply of oxygen is affected, due to which the palms can turn yellow. Symptoms like fatigue, headache and dizziness are also seen along with this.
3. Thyroid
In hypothyroidism, the skin can become dry and yellow. If the face is also turning yellow along with the hands, then this can be a sign related to thyroid. In such a situation, one should be alert and go to the doctor immediately.
4. Liver or kidney problem
When the liver or kidney does not function properly, the toxic elements of the body are not able to come out. This causes many chemical changes in the body, which affect the color of the skin. Due to this, many times the palms start turning yellow.
