Jaundice is a symptom of many different conditions, all having to do with the liver. When jaundice, a person's skin and eyes turns yellowish in color because of an increase in bilirubin, a breakdown of red blood cells by the liver. Jaundice seen in a baby at birth is fairly typical and harmless, but a child with jaundice needs to see a doctor to determine what is causing it to occur.
