Could yellow skin be related to viral infection?
Patient: Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ?  Please type your query here...I had a blood test to determine yellowing of skin, everything came back normal. Awhile back another doctor said I had a viral infection this was 3 months ago. Could this all be related? I am a 35 yr. male 5ft 11dont have never had medical conditions. Doctor: Hello,Yellow skin or jaundice is caused by liver problems. Make sure that your doctor checked your liver enzymes and did specific tests for hepatitis B and C. It depends upon what type of viral infection you had as to whether or not that is the cause of your yellow skin.If your doctor can not find the cause of yellowing of skin then I suggest that you see a liver specialist.Regards
