Symptom #7: Face Blemishes
Having a clear, healthy complexion is important to a lot of people. Many will put a lot of effort into keeping their skin as clear as possible, even spending a lot of money on cosmetics and other products. If you have liver disease, though, then keeping a clear complexion can become a lot harder.
Melanin is a substance that causes the pigmentation of our skin. If there is more of it in the skin, then the skin will become darker. Liver damage causes an imbalance of hormones in the body and this will, in turn, cause more melanin to be produced. This can cause patches of the skin to become darker, or even the entire face or body.
