Sorry Pjjjp but your link doesn't take us to a picture. Regardless of that we sadly arn't allowed to offer comment on photographs as none of us are qualified. If you really feel that you might be showing signs of jaundice you need to go to your doctor and have him/her check. They should be able to tell by looking at you or failing that a blood test will reveal whether your bilirubin level is elevated (which is the cause of jaundice).

I will tell you though that 9.9 times out of 10 when people have posted pictures of their eyes on here for comment they have NOT been jaundiced. It is near impossible to tell via a photograph owing to the light and reproduction issues. Do go and see your own doctor.

All the best, Katie

Agreed. See a doctor. If your billirubin is normal than you dont have jaundice.
