Hello,
I am sorry to hear your 34 years old son is an alcoholic and is having yellowish legs sores. It means his liver is being damaged severely from alcohol, and his entire body is suffering too.
So, discuss with him to stop using alcohol, and run immediate consultation with gastrohepatologist (specialist for liver diseases).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Albana Sejdini, General & Family Physician
