What are ways to remove jaundiced or yellow tinged in the eye-whites (on the eye area)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Systemic problem: Yellow eyes(sclera icterus) are generally a sign of jaundice caused by a buildup of bilirubin in the blood. The build up could be due to serious diseases and conditions that cause liver damage or dysfunction, blockage of the bile ducts, gallbladder or pancreatic disease, stone or cancer. The person needs to see his/her doctor immediately for exam, blood work and testing.
