In daily life, if people find that their complexion is dark, they should know more about the reasons for their dark complexion. So, what is the reason for the dark complexion?

Analysis of physiological reasons for dark complexion:

If a healthy person develops a dark complexion without any cause in daily life and has no other obvious abnormalities, it is recommended that you go to the hospital to check your liver function and perform B-ultrasound to rule out possible pathological causes. If all indicators are normal, the dull complexion may be caused by autoimmune regulation, endocrine disorders, and abnormal hormone levels; it may also be caused by poor sleep, long-term constipation, taking certain medications, etc., leading to skin pigmentation. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, a dark complexion may be a sign of kidney deficiency, which can be treated with kidney-tonifying medicines. As for a dark complexion caused by physiological phenomena such as pregnancy spots in women, it is a normal phenomenon and there is no need to worry.

Analysis of pathological causes of dark complexion:

Hepatitis B patients who carry the hepatitis B virus for a long time, especially those with cirrhosis, have a dark and dull complexion. Because hepatitis B patients have reduced liver function and long-lasting metabolic abnormalities, they may have dull skin pigmentation, dark gray face, dry and rough skin, loss of normal luster and elasticity, and even a bronze face with dilated capillaries. Some patients have obvious pigmentation around their eye sockets, which is known as panda eyes. Medically, these characteristic facial changes in patients with liver disease are called liver disease facies, which is the pathological cause of the dark complexion caused by liver disease.
