Slight Yellowing of Skin on Legs

Hey guys, I found a couple of spots today that look kind of yellow (like bruises, really). There are 3 of them, two on my right leg and one on my left. I'm not an expert of Jaundice or liver disease, but I know those two things can be related. I'm not entirely sure how long the spots have been there, they're pretty faint and not in an easily visible part of my body. I have a feeling that at least one of them has been there for a long time.

Should I do anything about this? I've actually been on a break from most of my antibiotics, apart from minocycline (which I'm not currently taking), for a few weeks now. My last test showed liver and kidney enzymes were in the normal range as well. I have my next appointment with my LLMD on Monday, but is this something worth going to an urgent care doctor about? I have a feeling they would tell me to not worry about it, and go see a dermatologist if they get worse. Does anyone have experience with bruise-like yellowing of the skin in small areas on different parts of the body? Could it be related to antibiotic use, and, if so, would stopping the antibiotics for a long time be the best course of action? My doctor and I will be discussing the next steps in treatment Monday, so I would like to be armed with the best info I can be.

As an aside, the reason I stopped taking my antibiotics was because they were starting to cause severe stomach pain and gas. This went away pretty quickly after I stopped them. Could this be related?

Thanks a lot for the input.

I know it's probably nothing, but I figured I'd float it out to you all just in case.

Maybe, I don't know if it's related though. I think I've had one of them for a long time, but I never really paid attention to it before so I'm not sure. I'm not even taking the antibiotics anymore so it probably isn't as important, even if they were causing an issue, I'm off them.

I'm with Don on this, I would get bruises very easily on abx from the slightest bump but they would never be black or blue, more yellow.

Can you put mind at ease, at least about liver, by getting liver tests?

I joined so I can post about this, and other topics I'm researching on Lyme and Co-Infections.


I'm going through beginning stages of trying to diagnose Lyme. I know I have it.

I have these same "yellow/greenish" spots all over my legs. One of my MANY symptom is that my legs have horrible aches and pains, like a car drove over them 24/7. In all my life I never had or developed spots or bruises on my skin like this. Something is up...

There is some correlation here with some type of co-infection or issue, hope someone can add to this mystery. I've been taking photos to show history of these yellowish spots. Very concerning for sure, these are not normal.

I wanted to provide feedback as you are not the only one with this symptom.
