Jaundice is when the skin and the white part of the eyes turn yellow. Sometimes, places like the mouth and nose can look a little yellow, too!

This happens when the liver—special organ that helps clean harmful substances from your body—needs some extra help.

It is like the liver is a command center, releasing yellow ink as a signal: “Hey! I need some backup here!”

Doctors can give special medicines to help “wash away” the yellow ink and get everything working well again.
