Will a child keep the same yellowish-orange color after Jaundice? |
I am African American. I was told by my mother that I was born with Jaundice. She told me stories of how the doctor put me out in the sun for some kind of treatment of Jaundice. Later she told me that the doctor said I will have this color of my skin for the rest of my life. Can you tell me if this is normal because I have researched this and they said Jaundice clears up after a week or two of birth. The colour fades, it does not stay. Sunlight makes the bilirubin that causes the yellow colour break down and get excreted by the body. No! no, because i had jaundice when i was a born and i have a normal skin color. i had jaundice, and it doesnt last. It depends on the extent of it i guess. being out in the sun doesnt do much for it. vitamin d and calcium can help. No! The color should go away. I had jaundice as a baby too but after about a week my skin was back to normal hi My daughter was born the fifth of Jan. and we found out she had a high high percentage of jaundice. My baby girl had to stay under a uv light for the first 2 weeks after she was born. We are hispanic and the yellowish color does go away. There is no trace that she ever had jaundice. It's weird that you would still show the signs of jaundice. Two of my children who are African American had jaundice when they were born. It is not true that the color stays for the rest of your life. My daughter is a beautiful shade of brown and my son is light skinned, but neither one of them is yellow. With my daughter the doctor told me to put her in the sun also. Jaundice is a yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes caused by the liver not being able to break down the bilirubin from red blood cells. One treatment to get it out of the skin is ultraviolet light treatment. They do recommend putting babies in the sun without clothes for a period of time each day to help. The yellow does go away after awhile, and the liver more fully develops and is able to breakdown the bilirubin. |
