What Causes Yellow Discoloration On The Skin And Yellow Eyes?
My Dad is 89 years old, and I have noticed that his skin and eyes are yellow. He has congestive heart failure and is a diabetic. I was wondering what could be causing this and should I take him to the ER? He doesn t say that he is in any pain. Thank you

Hello, In my opinion yellowish discoloration may be due to jaundice because of congestive hepatitis. It is advisable to get his liver functions tested and an echocardiography done.
