What is yellow jaundice

Yellow jaundice is a yellow discoloration of the skin. It can be best recognized in the eyes and under the tongue. Sometimes it is accompanied by dark urine. In almost all instances is it caused by a liver condition that must be evaluated by a physician.

Yellow jaundice usually happens to a baby in it’s first few day of life. A baby’s skin appears yellow when you pinch it. Although newborns are the most frequent victims, adults also get jaundice, a yellow discoloration of the skin and the whites of the eyes. Jaundice is not a disease in itself.
