Jaundice makes your skin and the whites of your eyes turn a yellowy colour. This may look a bit like a suntan. In people with dark skin, jaundice can be noticed in the whites of the eyes.

Depending on what is causing your jaundice, you may have other symptoms such as tiredness, abdominal pain, weight loss, vomiting and fever.

If you have obstructive jaundice, you may be very itchy. Your urine will probably be darker than usual and your stools might be paler.
