Dear Lau,
I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy loss,
Experiencing an ectopic pregnancy can be quite a traumatic event for the body. Make sure you are resting, drinking plenty of water and using moisturiser regularly on your dry skin.
As we are not able to provide personalised medical advice, if you have any concerns or yellowing of your skin or eyes, please seek medical advice.

Sending much love,

Dear Lau,
Yellowing of the skin and eyes with itchy skin may indicate there is an issue with your liver.
This is very unlikely to be due to your ectopic pregnancy and surgery, but I would seem medical advice if this happened.
Kind regards,
