jaundice on me? slight TMI

Does anyone else have this going on:

The skin under my boobs, all in the pubic area, and beside my eyes looks yellowed. Kinda like what a jaundiced baby. I have had the yellow under the boobs for a while, just noticed the eyes in the morror, and just saw the pubic area after i shaved this morning. Just seems weird, ya know?

Re: jaundice on me? slight TMI

  • Call your dr.   Something I was reading about rashes mentioned jaundice.  It has to do with your liver function.  Cholestasis, I believe mentions jaundice as a symptom.   Maybe someone who has it can give you more insight, but I would definitely call the dr.

  • I am not an expert, but I would call your doctor. I know that yellowing skin can be a sign your gallbladder or liver may not be functioning properly. Not sure about it just being in certain areas though. I would call your doc just to be safe.

  • Definitely call the doctor.  It may be only visible in those areas because the skin is thinner there, but it's a sign your liver may not be working optimally.  It's one of those things that happens in late pregnancy, and it can usually be managed well, but you need to deal with it promptly.
  • I just want to say yup... call your doctor.

  • I was wondering..I thought the whole "mask of pregnancy" skin color changes were common in the places you mentioned. Jaundice is usually like the whites of your eyes and gums and stuff like that before it hits widespread areas of skin
