Is Yellowish Hands And Fingers Sign Of Jaundice?
It looks like I have jaundice on my hands, when I woke up this morning it was really dark on my right hand, through the day, it spread to my left hand and some on my fingers. Now, it is still there, but it is lighter, could this be something other than jaundice?

hi.
thanks for posting query at HCM.
yellow sclera ( eyes) are a definite sign for jaundice. yellow skin may or may not be present in jaundice.
as per your current presentation, jaundice is unlikely.
you may consult a dermatologist if the yellow color (hand) is still present.
hope to answer your concern.
regards
DR Tayyab Malik
