Which condition, also known as icterus, causes a yellowing of your skin and the whites of your eyes?

Question

Accepted Answer

Step-by-step explanation:

- Option (1) Ichthyosis: a group of genetic skin disorders characterized by dry, scaly skin — not yellowing.
- Option (2) Jaundice: also called icterus; caused by elevated bilirubin leading to a yellow discoloration of the skin and the whites of the eyes (sclera).
- Option (3) Eczema: inflammatory, itchy rash conditions (atopic dermatitis), not described as yellowing of skin/eyes.
- Option (4) Pemphigus: autoimmune blistering disease of the skin and mucous membranes, not yellowing.

Therefore the condition known as icterus that causes yellowing of the skin and sclera is Jaundice (option 2).
