If your skin color become yellowish, does it means I have already hepa b?

Question

Answer 1

THAT or you're becoming Asian.

Think about it.

Edit: My bad. I thought the question was so ridiculous that it deserved a ridiculous answer. I give myself a 'thumbs down' too.

Answer 2

It's so obvious noone is reading everything you wrote XD

No,.. there are a good number of reasons someone would be Yellowish. The Hepa B it's self isn't what causes Yellowing,.. it's problems with your organs it is causeing, such as your Liver.

A few organs haveing problems can cause yellowing. An allergy can cause yellowing. An unablity to process certain things properly like Yellow Dyes can cause Yellowing. It goes on and on,..

Some people's skin types naturally have some Yellow to them,.. maybe you should think of it as most people.

What you are asking about though doesn't indicate anything of importance. You are extremely likely to have some ammount of calusing on your hands and finger tips to begin with... for you not to would mean you did nothing with your hands all day but softened them... you wouldn't use any pens, pencils, or a keyboard.. nor eat on your own,.. just constantly soften your hands. So just useing your hands at all or haveing any ammount of yellow in your skin tone ( even if never noticed) are enough for you to see yellow if you close your hand and open it. You're also cutting off blood flow and loseing "your color" by doing that,.. so to put it simply you are seeing your worn out, dyed, bloodless skin.

If you were jondus ( that's something that happens to people with Hepa B) you would constantly be an abnormal for you yellow or orange with the whites of your eyes effected. Parts of your body would be bloated and you would most likely be in pain. You wouldn't need to Squeeze your hand to see it.

Answer 3

It depends. Does your skin naturally have a yellowish undertone? Closing your hands into fists and squeezing the blood out of them will leave them pale and blanched - of course this can look yellow.
One way to check for jaundice is to look at the whites of your eyes (called the "sclera"). If your sclera appear yellow ("icteric"), that is a sign of jaundice, and you should seek medical attention immediately.
There are many causes of jaundice - not only hepatitis, but also certain types of anemia (for example, sickle-cell anemia, hemolytic anemia). Destruction of red blood cells causes an elevation of the chemical bilirubin in your blood - this leads to the yellow coloring in the skin and sclera of your eyes. However, you will likely experience other symptoms, including fatigue.
Why do you believe you are at risk for hepatitis? If you are sexually active and have not been vaccinated, you are at risk for hepatitis B and D. If you are an injecting drug user, you may be at risk for hepatitis C. If you are around children, day care centers, nursing homes, hospitals, etc, or have recently consumed raw seafood, then you may be at risk for hepatitis A and E. These types of hepatitis are all caused by different viruses, and each one is associated with different symptoms and outcomes. So, no, "yellowish skin" does not automatically mean that you have hepatitis B.
If you have any other symptoms besides your "hand turning yellow when you squeeze it really hard," I would go to see a doctor. However, if you are healthy, have no risk factors, and have no history of jaundice or liver disease, and have no other symptoms, then you will most likely be wasting the ER staff's time. In that case, if you are that worried, make an appointment with your general practicioner and go and see them.
Good luck to you.

Answer 4

You are probably freaking out over nothing but here is what I'd do:

I would go to the doctors. They will likely give you a blood test to see what is going on. It's probably not hepatitis although it might be have something to do with your liver. Any other symptoms other than the yellowish color?

Answer 5

No.


If MY skin color becomes yellowish, it does not mean YOU already have HepB.

Now, if your skin becomes yellowish, it could mean many things - but most of them are related to a liver problem. Could be any type of hepatitis - A, B, C. Could be cirrhosis. Could be a block in a biliary duct.

The bottom line is - don't self-diagnose. See your doctor.

Answer 6

the yellowish after closing your hands is normal. Look at the whites of your eyes and your skin to see if they are yellow. If they are, you need to have your liver enzymes checked. Jaundice (except in newborns) is often a sign of liver failure or pancreatitis.

Answer 7

Yellowing skin and the whites of your eyes means you do have a liver problem. This yellowing is called, "Jaundice", and can indicate any number of several liver problems. You should seek a doctor as soon as possible for a diagnosis.

Answer 8

Hmmm, the only condition I can think of that turns skin yellow is jaundice. However, I just closed my hand tightly and it looked a LITTLE yellow, so if it's REAL yellow I might see a doctor, but if it only a TAD yellow and it only happens when your fist is closed, don't worry about it!

Answer 9

It could mean anything but go see a doctor. However if you are clenching your fist hard then its normal for the skin to go yellowish as you are stopping blood flow.

Good luck

Answer 10

If this is the only time you see yellow skin, no problem. A lot of people have yellow (or pink or bluish) undertones in their skin. However, if the whites of your eyes are turning yellow, go to a doctor. Could be liver disease or gallbladder disease, among other things.

Answer 11

Not really. Check your eyes. Check the color under your eyes. Also are you or do you feel ill? Feel run down? If in doubt see your doctor. Put your mind at ease.
