Maybe you are being paranoid, I remember looking closely at my skin thinking, is that a yellow hue??? If at all concerned please visit your doctor, and take some milk thistle in the meantime, that helps heal the liver. Good for you for tackling the drinking and getting healthy.

I don't mean to be scary, but yellowing of the skin can be a sign of serious liver problems. I've seen this with a close family member. Please, please, please see a doctor right away! Please don't wait. And let us know. I really don't mean to be an alarmist, but I care.

I wouldn't panic, but if it is TURNING yellow - yes see a Dr. But some people have a slightly yellow undertone to their skin, and when you stop drinking the liver is quickly detoxing fatty acids from the al and can leave a yellow hint. But always better to be safe and see a Dr.
Best to you

Take a look at the color of the inside of your lower eyelids and your gums. Is there a underlying yellow cast to that tissue? It is my understanding that this is usually where the first signs of the yellowing of jaundice appear.
Also, Tons of Water!!! I have a DR. friend who always says, "In the body, the solution to polution is dilution! Water, Water, Water!" This will help to flush the toxins out of your body. The liver is the organ that filters and removes these toxins. Drink! Just be sure it is water! Congratulations on your choice for sobriety! Best

I'm just being paranoid, it happens when I detox. I start reading symptoms and think I have them.

I'm thinking of you and hope everything is going ok, Change. I'm hoping lots of water helped you. I probably do tend to over react to any mention of yellow skin due to the past experience I spoke of. Sorry if I reacted too strongly.
