Accepted Answer

Not Jaundice: If you are having yellowish discoloration of skin and eye; get examined. It can be from Alcohol, medicine like Tylenol, (acetaminophen) viral infection etc. not from Endimetriosis

Question 5

is slight pale yellow only on the inner corner white on both eyes normal?

Accepted Answer

Yes: You are probably observing a deposit termed a pingueculum - sort of a callus of the eye - a normal growth which protects this usually open part of the eye against wind, dust and uv light.  It has a yellow tint, can vary in size and is highlighted if the eye gets red or irritated.  This is a normal feature of eyes in the middle years.

Question 6

can working night shifts cause slight yellowing of the eyes due to lack of sunlight ?

Accepted Answer

No: not usually. You should see your doctor and get blood tests to look at other causes such as your liver

Question 7

my eyes are bright white, but when i turn them far in any direction, the outer rim is a slight yellow. can jaundice sometimes affect only a portion?

Accepted Answer

Probably normal: Jaundice turns the entire eye yellow, not just one part. And it's very rare to be jaundiced and otherwise be healthy. If you otherwise feel and look well, then almost certainly you are not jaundiced.

Question 8

does mild jaundice always show symptoms in the form of yellowing of the skin or eyes or does it remain silent for some weeks or months before disappearing from the body on it's own?

Accepted Answer

: Why did you have jaundice? Whether it disappears or not would depend on what caused it in the first place. It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without examining you and may be doing some tests.

Question 9

how likely is jaundice the cause of slight yellow discolouration of skin in certain areas if whites of eyes remain bright white? thanks.

Accepted Answer

VERY UNLIKELY: since the "sclera" ("whites") of your eyes are the most SENSITIVE indicator of systemic jaundice!!

Hope this helps!
