How can I change the color of my skin?

[Anonymous]

Lately it has been looking very yellowish/ green.. I don't know if it's in my head or not.. and I haveint been sick lately.. what could it be.. and is there any vitimans I can take to fix it? anyone ever have this before... normally its just regular light cream and since I'm outdoorsy it's a little tan.. now I feel it looks gross.. what could it be.. my mom said maybe anemia

if your skin is yellow, you need to go to a doctor just to make sure you're not sick of something contagious... Yellow tint skin is a bad sign, unless you are naturally yellow of color. Better get checked before trying to change color with creams or tanning and overlooking something that can become serious with time.

Looking very yellowish/green? That's not a good sign.. i would suggest to consult your doctor..
To answer your question, its not clear as to how you'll change it unless you'll know what causes you to be yellowish/greenish..

Hmmm... jaundice might be an issue, as well, or some sort of kidney/liver function issue. It couldn't hurt to see your doctor to rule things out, even if you feel fine otherwise.

How could I have kidney / liver dysfunction.. I'm soo young... :(.. but those ARE the organs that effect your skin the most right? maybe

It's unlikely--even nutritional issues can have an impact. But if it's enough of a difference that it's noticeable, then it's worth seeing a doctor, I think.

Just to be clear: I'm really not trying to scare you. Even if you had issues with kidneys, etc., modern medicine can do quite a bit. But it can't help (assuming there is a problem) if you don't see your doctor.

I don't think it would be a kidney or liver issue if you felt fine otherwise. My advice is on the side of caution.

I think I will see a doctor.. than you anyway :)).. and I wasn't really scared just concerned lol.. even my brother has noticed..
