Yellow Skin Tone Overview

When your complexion has a yellow skin tone, it may be caused by jaundice, a symptom of hepatitis B. Jaundice caused by hepatitis B can not only cause a yellow skin tone, but it can give the whites of the eyes a yellowish cast as well. In addition to hepatitis B, yellow skin tone can be caused by a variety of conditions. This article will outline the various causes, diagnosis, and treatment of yellow skin tone.

Possible Causes of Yellow Skin Tone

Various conditions can cause yellow skin tone including the following:

  • Viral hepatitis. All strains of hepatitis (A,B,C,D,E) can cause yellow skin tone.
  • Cirrhosis, a complication of hepatitis B or alcoholism.
  • Hemolytic anemia
  • Gallstone
  • Pancreatic cancer

Diagnosing Yellow Skin Tone

Surprisingly, yellow skin tone can be diagnosed through STD testing. Hepatitis B, as well as hepatitis A and C, are often transmitted through sexual intercourse. Hepatitis B testing and complete STD testing is available at private, FDA-approved labs nationwide. With results available within five days, a test for hepatitis B and other STDs is a quick and easy way to diagnose or rule yellow skin tone.

Even if you are not at risk sexually, hepatitis B can be transferred by non-sexual means through the transfer of body fluids so testing for hepatitis B and other stains of the virus is highly recommended with the presence of yellow skin tone.

If you are negative for hepatitis B and other hepatitis strains, a doctor can perform additional testing to determine the underlying cause.

Treating Yellow Skin Tone

If yellow skin tone is diagnosed as a symptom of hepatitis B, treatment will depend on the stage of the virus. Acute hepatitis B infections generally do not require treatment, but a healthy lifestyle can help preserve one’s health. Chronic hepatitis B infections require antiviral treatment and ongoing doctor supervision.  Other strains of hepatitis may have similar treatment.

For other causes of treating yellow skin tone, a doctor will treat the underlying causes of the symptom depending on the diagnosis.
