They yellow palm and skin maybe jaundice but the cause has to be determined for best treatment options. A visit with the PCP with appropriate evaluation will determine whether one sees Infectious Disease Consult or Gastroenterologist.

Hepatitis will have to be ruled out as it can typically cause jaundice and may or may not be related to the above mentioned exposure. Blood work is typically needed along with exam and possibly imaging studies and seeking medical attention is recommended.
