The skin is not only the outer layer of the body, but also a mirror of the health inside – especially the liver function. When the liver is not functioning properly, many abnormal signs will begin to appear on the skin as an early warning. Below are 15 of the most common manifestations on the skin that experts like Dr. Eric Berg have pointed out, helping you recognize that the liver is “calling for help”.

One of the most prominent signs of liver disorders is jaundice or yellow eyes, due to the accumulation of bilirubin in the blood. This is often a sign of hepatitis, cirrhosis or gallstones.

If you feel intense itching but no obvious rash or allergy, it may be a sign that bile is not being excreted well – a liver function is being disrupted.

A weak liver cannot filter out toxins, leading to allergic reactions or rashes, especially on the chest, back and arms.

Chronic dry skin can reflect hormonal imbalances and reduced bile production – which affects the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins such as A, D, E and K.

Acanthosis Nigricans**
This can be a warning sign of fatty liver, insulin resistance or metabolic syndrome.

Spider Angiomas**
Spreading red, spider-like spots on the skin are often a sign of chronic liver failure or cirrhosis.

Palmar Erythema**
Unusual redness of the palms can be associated with liver dysfunction and hormonal imbalances.

A dark or ashen face**
This change in colour is often associated with cholestasis, chronic liver failure or liver toxicity.

Intense acne**
A poor functioning liver causes the body to store hormones and toxins, which can lead to increased acne – especially on the chin, jawline and forehead.

Dark spots or unusual pigmentation**
A damaged liver can cause skin pigmentation disorders, leading to widespread pigmentation, especially on the cheeks and forehead.

Skin appears to bruise easily**
A vitamin K deficiency due to a weak liver can cause blood clotting disorders, making the skin prone to bruising even with a slight impact.

Deep wrinkles or prematurely dull skin**
Premature skin aging, visible wrinkles can appear because the liver cannot filter out harmful free radicals in the body.

Pale or blue lips**
A weak liver can cause anemia or low blood oxygen levels – affecting the color of the lips and nails.

Mouth ulcers, white or burning tongue**
This is a classic sign of indigestion and liver heat, which occurs when the liver cannot eliminate heat toxins.

Dark circles around the eyes and eyelids**
Dark circles or dull skin around the eyes can be related to impaired liver function and prolonged lack of sleep caused by liver fatigue.

According to Dr. Berg and many liver specialists, signs on the skin need to be monitored seriously. If you find yourself with **3 or more signs**, it is a signal that you should have your liver function checked early to get advice on diet, rest and appropriate treatment.

**Natural liver support measures include:**

– Eat lots of dark green vegetables, beets, artichokes
– Limit fried foods, fats and refined sugar
– Supplement antioxidants such as NAC, silymarin (milk thistle)
– Drink plenty of water, avoid alcohol and tobacco

The skin never “lies” about internal health. Especially with the liver – a silent but extremely important organ – any unusual changes on the skin can be a warning bell. Understanding correctly and intervening early will help you prevent dangerous liver diseases effectively.
