The left side of my mom's face is turning yellow in two spots right next to her eye and a second spot below it. It's nothing you can wash out and i'm sorta worried. Can anyone help?
ALSO:
She's not pregnant, she got her tubes tied

yellowing skin is a sign of liver problems. hepatitis maybe. usually. the entire body has a yellow cast to it though. check her eyes as well. if the whites are yellowing it could mean liver failure.
EDIT- just wondering makes a good point. it could be an old bruise. has she been hurt lately?

Sounds like jaundice. Yellowing of the skin happens when the liver isn't doing what it is suppose to. Does she drink alot, or did she? Maybe look into that.

Liver problems will cause yellow discoloration. Old bruising will look yellow too.

It could be anything from a simple healing bruise to a potential liver problem. She needs a blood work-up before you worry and get your self sick. good luck!

wash your face with Ivory soap, let air dry. take a benadryl. sounds like a alergic reaction to something. If does not clear up could be a liver problem. Please see a doctor.

A person I used to know Did something similar to that, She was sunbathing and didnt put enough block on, she was cold all day and got burnt bad, she passed out at the salad bar basically, when the ambulance came they told her that she was dehydrated. shewas talking to me one second and just staired out and fainted onto the floor.

Are the whites of her eyes yellow? If so she is jaundice.
But not knowing what exactly you are seeing, I would have her see a dermatologist, skin doctor.
Let him diagnose. Not us.

Not to scare you, but it may have something to do with her liver. I'd get her checked out if I were you.
