Panda eyes are cute on a panda's body, but when they appear on our faces, it may be a sign that something is wrong with the liver!
"Dark circles" + 6 symptoms, beware of liver lesions
Wang Qian, deputy chief physician of the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery of Henan Provincial Cancer Hospital, pointed out in an article in the Health Times in 2024 that persistent abnormal liver function will lead to hormone level disorders in the human body, thereby affecting pigment metabolism, increasing tyrosinase levels in the skin, increasing melanin content, and making the complexion dark and dull. The accumulation of melanin around the eyes is particularly noticeable, very similar to "panda eyes".
Although not all "panda eyes" are related to liver disease, if they are accompanied by the following symptoms at the same time, do not hesitate to go for a physical examination -

2. Bad breath
