A member asked:

The tips of my fingernails are yellow is this a fungal infection or jaundice? the whites of my eyes are normal so i don't know?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yellow nails: The tips of the nails can discolor as they get older simply as a matter of aging, jaundice has to do with your skin, which are active and living, dividing cells. The ends of the nails are no longer live cells, where you skin, for the most part is still alive and dividing cells...
