I have noticed bruising or a yellowish color on my lower back lately. It is not jaundice as it is only here and no where else. I am a healthy 21yo female. There is no pain and I drink plenty of water. Has anyone ever heard of this?

Just a couple possibilities...do you sit in a chair that presses on your back in that area? Was your back really tan there, maybe darker than the rest of you, and it's faded to a yellowish color? Could the color from clothing or the band on your jeans possibly rubbed off on your skin?
Over the next few days, I would wash the area very well with your usual soap, apply a moisturizer, and apply a little heat to the area in the evening or right before bed to see if a possible bruise is reabsorbed and the color fades. If it doesn't change or if it gets darker, you can ask your doc to look at it. You don't say how big an area it is, so it's hard to know what else it might be.

You do not point out what form of jarred meals she's consuming. If she's consuming ordinarily carrots, she can have a surplus of beta carotene (a style of Vitamin A), which is able to flip the epidermis yellow or orange-ish as a aspect end result. You do not desire a Vitamin A overload -- it may get poisonous. Start various her nutrition and restrict yellow/ orange meals for somewhat. I had the identical obstacle at thirteen, and a buddy's baby overloaded on carrots and was once changing into a carrot herself earlier than her mother switched to spinach. The different likelihood is jaundice, that's a liver obstacle. Infants commonly spend time underneath unique lighting (known as bilirubin) to manage it, however I have no idea what they do with a baby her age. If you have not performed so already, name your pediatrician or the nurse line and inform them what you are seeing. Given how little fluid your baby appears to be taking in, any alterations like this will have to be introduced for your health care provider's awareness.

Do you do sit ups or crunches? go to a chiropractor, anything that could have caused the bruising?
