Question 1

does your skin get sticky when your in the dying stage of cirrhosis?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes: As one develops  jaundice,  the skin texture and composition  will change--sometimes called tacky or sticky.

Question 2

is skin cirrhosis associated with the liver?

Accepted Answer

Define "cirrhosis": Do you mean psoriasis? Do  you refer to skin signs of liver disease? Do you have hemochromatosis (unlikely if celiac disease)? Scleroderma? Ask your DR!!!

Question 3

how advanced is cirrhosis when skin and eyes are yellow?

Accepted Answer

Very advanced: If your eye is yellow the bilirubin is not that high and liver disease may be mild.  It even is seen in hereditary anemias without liver disease.  But if your skin is also yellow then the bilirubin is very high and liver disease is advanced.  Must see your GI specialist.

Question 4

hello. carotenemia is a new term for me. how long till my hands turn to normal skin color again? i want to eliminate cirrhosis. thanks you!

Accepted Answer

About eating veggies: In normal, healthy people, carotenemia is the NORMAL coloring their skin develops when they eat lots of carotene-containing veggies such as carrots, squash, and sweet potatoes. When a doctor sees a child with carotene coloring, he knows the child is eating a good amount of veggies. If a patient already has liver disease, he can ask his doctor if carotene coloring is part of his individual problem.

Question 5

if u have cirrhosis & fatty liver & enlarged liver , is it normal to have a yellow patch of skin? which is getting bigger?

Accepted Answer

No: Cirrhosis can cause jaundice (yellow skin and sclera of eyes) due to an elevated bilirubin level. If present it would affect all your skin, not just a patch of skin.

Question 6

final stage of cirrhosis of  the liver, not pooping anymore, pee stinks horribly, throwing up green chunks, yellow skin, is my aunt going to die?

Accepted Answer

Not looking good: I hope she is in a hospital, it does not look or sound good. How many years of liver disease? Sorry for the news, but liver failure is bad news.

Question 7

what does it mean when i am itchy and i scratch then these big bumps and small bumps rises above my skin ? i have a picture how do i send it to you ?

Accepted Answer

Hypersensitivity: Your skin is in a state of hypersensitivity to pressures on it causing hivelike swellings and angioedema reactions. There is something of an allergic reaction causing this hypersensitivity. Taking antihistamines like benadryl(causes drowsiness)  or claritin (loratadine) may help. See an allergist for evaluation.
