What causes yellow discoloration and tenderness on the lower legs?
Patient: Hi, I notice a few days ago a slight yellow color on my lower legs. If i touch my right leg around the shin bone it feels a little bit tender, but it has not worsened. However, today I am noticing that both of my legs are slightly tingling. What could this be? Doctor: Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.  I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.  Yellow discoloration of foot may be applying of turmeric or other Coloring agents, other conditions like excessive carrot consumption or liver problems may cause hyper bilirubinuria etc.. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.  Please consult your doctor he will examine for blood urea, bilirubin level , liver enzymes and treat you accordingly.Take care.
