Question 1

my daughter has had yellow rings around her eyes for yrs. now the color is gold to orange, only around eyes. why? thank you

Accepted Answer

Eye exam: She should have an eye exam to evaluate these rings. If i understand your description correctly, the gold rings could be kayser fleisher rings, copper deposits on the outer edges of the cornea. This is found in wilson's disease, an autosomal recessive (genetic) disease due to a problem with the bodies ability to store copper. Copper builds up in the body and can be deposited on the cornea.

Question 2

surgery last week. perscribed cerfuroxime, celecobix & tramodol.clindamycin added yellowing of skin around eyes began so clind, stopped. is this ok?

Accepted Answer

You have not: said what your surgery was nor why you were given so much antibiotic and pain medications. We cannot advise without considerably more information. You need to ask your surgeon this question not HealthTap. The surgeon may want to provide you with an alternative antibiotic depending on the actual situation and circumstances of your case.

Question 3

causes of yellow skin around eyes, like a black eye but color yellow. eyes white, no yellow skin anywhere else.

Accepted Answer

If in well defined: Patches these are xanthelasma, collection of colesterol under the skin.

Question 4

how can i prevent the yellow discoloration of my eyes? can you give me some alternative remedies. thanks. have a good day.

Accepted Answer

Sorry: Unless your eyes are yellow from liver disease, then the yellowish color of the whites of your eyes is a permanent feature and cannot be altered with surgery or any known medicine.

Question 5

i am certain i have a blood cancer. i was exposed to a lot of formaldehyde as a child. almond size lumps all over body, discoloration around eyes. what specific leukemia and lymphoma does that chemical cause? wbc 3.2. young male. symptoms 2 years.

Accepted Answer

Get studied: This site does not offer diagnosis or treatment. Formaldehyde may or may not be an issue. It is one of many breakdown products of alcohol ingestion so many are exposed through life. If this is interfering with your enjoyment of life get a good workup done. A WBC as listed is not specific for anything.

Question 6

25 year old male, blood work normal besides, alt at 121, and wbc at 3. body almost feels toxic, better when not eating. red veins on the sides of my rib cage, discoloration almost like bruising around eyes, rash on both feet. liver or blood problem?

Accepted Answer

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor. Abstain from alcohol.
Wish you good health!

Question 7

post blepharoplasty 1+year.   milia under lower eyelids.   removed in-office.  grew right back.   surgically removed resulting in discoloration, lines & yellow raised bump-line-channel under one eye.  injected filler dissolver with little result?

Accepted Answer

: You may benefit from IPL / BBL (broad band laser) to prevent this.  Don't think that filler is the answer. Also, very benign microneedling might help.  No more surgery or filler in this situation in my opinion.

Question 8

should i be concerned about blue rings around eyes?

Accepted Answer

Usually normal: Variant. If there is no pain, redness or blurred vision then rest assured. If the blue ring is getting bigger it could be thinning of the sclera. Take a baseline picture for comparison over time.

Question 9

slight yellowing in the corner of eyes, could this be serious?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: If the whites of the eyes of not more diffusely yellow, then should be no issue.

Question 10

why do my eyes look yellow?

Accepted Answer

Yellow eyes: A small patch of yellow that next the colored part is likely a pinguecula, a benign lesion caused by sun exposure.  Overall  yellow color to the white part of the eye may represent jaundice and needs to evaluated by a primary care physician as to the cause, some of which are life-threatening.
