5. Red or Blotchy Soles
Bright red patches on your feet (palmar or plantar erythema) are sometimes linked to liver disease and hormonal imbalances. If your soles look unusually flushed, don’t ignore it.
6. Tingling or Burning Sensation
Liver damage, especially from cirrhosis, can lead to peripheral neuropathy — nerve problems that cause numbness, tingling, or burning in your feet and toes.
7. Cold Feet
Chronic coldness, even in warm conditions, may point to circulation problems caused by reduced liver function. The liver plays a key role in maintaining blood flow and temperature regulation.
8. Weak, Brittle Toenails
If your toenails break easily or develop ridges, it could be due to nutritional deficiencies from a poorly functioning liver. The liver helps store and process vital nutrients like zinc and biotin.
9. Cracked Heels
Dry, painful cracks on your heels that won’t heal easily may indicate your skin isn’t getting enough hydration and nutrients — another possible result of liver imbalance.
