Work overload: Mother cleanses babies blood, removing waste until the cord is clamped. Newborns must convert blood that worked better in the womb to air breather blood ; this conversion creates waste products that can result in jaundice. Most are visibly yellow by day 4 clearing by a week or so. Contact your doc if this concerns you.

Good afternoon doctors. I'm a 61 year old male. Could a yellowing of the skin by the left breast that seems to be visible every so often possibly be breast cancer?

Hi! I see intermittent yellowing of my skin (comes and goes) right by my left breast (61 y.o. male) I do not think it is jaundice--eyes are not yellow. I do not recall any purple bruising first or banging into anything. On Plavix Ideas please??

What is coming out of my nipples? Only when i squeeze i get a semi-thick white substance. I can see it under the skin before i squeeze it. Breast cancer does run in my family. I am 19 years old. No babies, no piercings, no birth control.
