Question : im really worried i have jaundice

Answered by Dr. Sassen S Kwasa (26 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
I do not believe that you are jaindiced by your pictures and sclera.

Detailed Answer:
Welcome back to HCM: Please note that the pictures that I have seen are no where near jaundice. Do you have a reason as to why you would believe that you are jaundiced? Are you a heavy drinker, to you have hepatitis? Please note that if you are still concerned you need to visit with your regular doctor who can provide a more thorough physical examination and liver tests if warranted after his exam. Otherwise I would not worry about jaundice in my opinion, I hope this helps.
