What Causes Yellow Discoloration On Hands With Rapid Weight And Appetite Loss?
I noticed that have yellowish parts in my hands and i ve been losing weight very quickly, I ve also been getting slight lightheadedness at different times of the day, My appetite has also increased, I get hungry a lot. I ve recently been diagnosed with Hashimoto Thyroiditis which is puzzling to me because from what I know, underactive thyroid symptoms point to weight gain not extreme weiht loss. Can you help? Thanks

Hello,
First you need to attach a picture of the hands to have a better idea of the hand discoloration.
A general biochemical check up would also help to rule common pathologies such as liver pathologies.
The weight loss is not related to thyroid.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mirjeta Guni, Endocrinologist
