Yellowness in the palms

[fa_jing]

Hey, I was noticing today that my left palm is yellow around the center. What's up with that?

Could be a blood xu condition. Do you get numbness and tingling there sometimes too especially on exertion?

[fa_jing]

Maybe a little, but I have nerve damage (ulnar nerve) in that hand anyway so tingling is normal. I also noticed that when I let my hand hang to the side for a while, more blood flowed to the area and the yellowness was diminished - however, it's still there. Also, my hands tend to get numb fast in the cold.

It's gone now. Don't know what it was - tried scrubbing it off, which didn't work, so I assume it was something internal. I'll keep an eye on it.

well, it probably has to do with bile

You have Jaundice.

that or you have been masterbating too much.

I haven't masturbated in nearly 2 years. And my hand is still fine. Although it has atrophied from the lack of exercise

Is a bath in order? Actually, sometimes the same happens to me but the color isn't yellow. I thought it might be from doing too much Qigong. Any thoughts??

Iron Pony, watch your P's and Q's or I'll have to slap the silly out of you in San Fran!

I can't wait. Can I go now. Have a great day.

My hands are purpllish from time to time. Is this a bad thing? Also, my knuckles are always of a darker colour than the rest of my skin.

when ant part of the body has a tendency to be purple this denotes blood stasis. One needs treatment to move and nourish the blood before it develops into a more long term condition. See an acupuncturist or chinese herbalist.
