Hi athena

Welcome to our lovely forum!

Do you know it’s nearly impossible to say from photos on here whether someone has jaundice or not, I’m sorry to say. But you are far from alone in asking this question!

Two comments I have which repeat those that have been said many times on this forum:-

If you have to ask whether it looks like you have jaundice then you may not or probably don’t, have jaundice. Jaundice is usually obvious, certainly by friends or family, and more often than not by the “patient” themselves.

Secondly, if you are in any doubt about the state of your health, go to your doctors. This forum isn’t really about diagnosis at all but rather to share experiences - usually once a problem has actually been diagnosed or there is confirmation that there is something wrong with you.

Sorry to seem to be so unhelpful but I am only repeating responses to others like you who have asked exactly the same question.

I do hope you get a no, you don’t have jaundice, response from your doctor. Good luck!

You look perfectly pink to me. Why do you think you may be jaundiced?

Hi,

Welcome to our forum.

Unfortunately no one on the forum is medically qualified to assess for jaundice. Please do see your own doctors who are best placed to advise.

Here is the NHS page on jaundice for info:

nhs.uk/conditions/jaundice/

Best wishes

I did not have to ask anyone- I looked in the mirror and Homer Simpson was looking back at me !
