What is the reason for yellow soles?

Under normal circumstances, the color of the soles of the feet is light pink. If yellowing occurs, it may be a normal physiological phenomenon. For example, people with thicker cuticles may experience this condition. In addition, it may be caused by certain diseases, such as liver abnormalities, bile duct diseases, blood transfusion inconsistencies, athlete's foot, anemia, etc. In addition, long-term consumption of foods or drugs containing yellow pigments can also cause yellowing of the soles of the feet.

1. Normal physiological phenomenon

As the body grows and develops, some people with thicker stratum corneum will experience yellowing of the soles of their feet.

2. Abnormalities in the liver

It may be related to the liver. When liver cells are damaged, capillaries rupture and the bilirubin in the blood cannot be eliminated normally, when the bilirubin in the blood gradually increases to 2-3mg/dl, yellow eyes can be discerned.

3. Biliary tract disease

Biliary tract disease and gallbladder disease cause the blood bilirubin to be unable to be eliminated from the bile duct and gallbladder in a timely manner, and it flows back into the blood, causing the soles of the feet to turn yellow.

4. Blood transfusion discrepancy

If you go to the hospital for a blood transfusion and your blood types do not match, it can cause hemolytic jaundice, which can cause yellowing of the palms and soles of the feet.

5. Caused by athlete's foot

You have athlete's foot or wear thick socks and non-breathable shoes.

6. Caused by food and drugs

Some foods and medicines contain yellow pigments that can make the soles of your feet turn yellow. For example, oranges, carrots, etc.

7. Caused by anemia

The body's nutrition is not enough, and the soles of the feet turn yellow due to anemia. What should I do? If the soles of the feet turn yellow due to physiological reasons, you need to achieve balanced nutrition in daily life. You can eat some foods that can whiten the skin, such as barley porridge. If you are worried that it is caused by your own disease, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for a check-up. If in addition to yellow soles of the feet, you also experience nausea, vomiting and other symptoms in daily life, it is most likely a liver disease. At this time, timely diagnosis and treatment are necessary to achieve early detection and early treatment.
