Fatty liver happens when fat builds up in the organ causing inflammation that leads to severe health complications. According to doctors, fatty liver is a result of many lifestyle and diet-related issues, and it can also be reversed with the help of certain changes in the same.

Also known as hepatic steatosis, fatty liver happens when fat builds up in your liver. Even though it is normal to have small amounts of fat in your liver too much can lead to many issues, including liver failure which is a life-threatening condition. And so, you must know and understand a few signs that your body gives initially if your liver is having problems. Doctors say a few of these symptoms begin to show in your skin and can be treated. 

 According to doctors, changes in your face and skin like puffiness, change in colour, and itching, could suggest fatty liver disease – one of the most common chronic liver diseases. While it may be common, the symptoms are often subtle. Over time, you may notice changes in your face that aren’t due to another known cause.

A few signs you would notice are:

Puffiness

Doctors say if you have a fatty liver issue, it can affect the organ's ability to make proteins, which impairs your blood flow and fluid removal. As a result, you may notice your face appears slightly puffier.

 Darker skin

Fatty liver disease also contributes to increased insulin resistance, which means your body cannot use insulin effectively. This results in the buildup of excess insulin in your body that causes a condition called acanthosis nigricans. This condition also leads to skin folds like as on the crease of your neck, to darken.

Rosacea

It is a skin condition that makes it appear red and full of bumps. Doctors say you would notice small red blood vessels or white bumps on your face when you have rosacea. However, it does not mean if you suffer from rosacea, you have fatty liver disease, but the condition can just be a sign of it.

Rashes

Fatty liver disease does not let your body absorb certain nutrients effectively, leading to deficiency. According to studies, zinc deficiency due to the condition causes rashes and dermatitis. It also leads to skin irritation around your mouth with small fluid-filled or solid-appearing bumps.

Itching

Liver disease also causes skin itching, including on your face which happens due to excessive bile salts in your body. It can lead you to scratch the skin surface, which the doctors say usually does not provide any relief and can also make the irritation worse.

Jaundice

Advanced liver disease also causes jaundice – a medical condition that makes your skin and the whites of your eyes appear yellow. Symptoms of jaundice, which occurs when there is an excess of bilirubin, appear in your eyes and face before spreading to the rest of your body.

Redness

The condition also causes redness of skin in patches.

Ways to prevent liver disease

Doctors say a few ways you can prevent liver issues, include:

• Maintain a moderate weight and manage chronic health conditions like diabetes
• Limit alcohol consumption
• Choose unsaturated fats like fish and nuts
• Eat more whole grains, fruits, and vegetables
• Always wash fruits and vegetables before eating them
