Seek professional care if you experience any of the following symptoms

• Yellow skin or eyes

• Carotenosis

  Carotenosis is a reversible medical condition caused by excess dietary carotenoids (carrots, squash, sweet potato, pumpkin, spinach, beans, breast milk) leading to orange discoloration of the skin. It can be mistaken for jaundice. In rare cases, carotenosis can result from systemic diseases like diabetes, kidney, thyroid, or liver disease.

• Anemia

  Anemia is a disorder where the body's tissues don't receive enough oxygen due to a lack of healthy red blood cells. There are several types of anemia with various causes, the most common being iron-deficiency anemia, which results from insufficient iron. Iron is needed to produce hemoglobin, a substance in red blood cells that helps carry oxygen.

  Normal human skin contains bacteria and fungi. Candidiasis occurs when the fungus overgrows and invades the skin. Risk factors include warm moist environments and a weakened immune system.

• Chronic hepatitis
• Cirrhosis of the liver
• Alcoholic liver disease

• Uremia / chronic renal failure

  Significant decrease in kidney function. Causes include repeated damage from infections, diabetes, high blood pressure, and autoimmunity (the body's immune system attacking itself).
