If you truly had had jaundice (yellow skin), the temporal areas are less likely the location you noted the yellow skin. Icteric (yellow eyes, the white part of your eyes becomes yellowish) is the earliest sign. You already quit drinking so you are good, there is no supplement for alcoholic liver disease. If you have any doubt, see your doctor for a simple blood test to check total bilirubin.

Yellowing might indicate beginning of jaundice, which might indicate that much alcohol is beginning to damage liver. To avoid potential complications, quitting as One has indicated is the best option. Next is to eat healthy and nutritious foods. A visit with the PCP will provide more monitoring and guidance.
