Skin Discoloration

[justJen]

Has anyon seen any type of skin discoloration on them? My skin has this sort of yellow tint to it. I don't think this is a symptom of IC :confused: ugh

You need to see your doctor, especially if your eyes have a yellow tint in the white part.

Yellowish skin can also be from eating too many carrots or drinking a lot of carrot juice.

Do you think this could be a sign of liver disease? I am going to call my doctor on Monday. They have not done any tests on my liver ugh.

I too have a yellowish tint to my skin. Usually around my eyes. I have actually had someone tell me before that I looked as if I had been poisoned! Not sure if it is a symptom of IC or not but, I have the discoloration alot. Hopefully it isn't anything too bad! :confused:

You need a liver profile checked asap!

Hello Justjen. Yes see a Doctor ASAP. One thought. I was told by my Uro that taking Phenazopyrid can make a person's skin become yellow. I can't think of the name they are called but they can be bought over-the-counter. They relieve the burning sensation when one voids. The pee turns very orange. I use to take them when I had a UTI and they were a Godsend. In my case, they don't seem to help any with my I.C. Keep us posted, we care. Ziggy

not sure exactly which one you are talking about...but they gave me Usept (a prescription drug that turns your urine orange) when I had my procedure done to determine "if I have IC" The procedure wasn't that much help because I don't even know if I have IC lol
Gonna call my doctor this morning.
