Hello, group. I'm a girl of 14. Today, as I was recovering, I noticed that my sclera (the white of my eye) was yellow. Not much, very pale. Last year my relative also told me that they were yellow. It's like in stages. It could be constant, I don't know, I didn't pay attention. I know that if a person overdoes with alcohol they turn yellow, but I do not drink. I've heard that yellowing of the sclera is a sign of some disease. Is that correct? If it matters, my eyes itch quite often. In 2-3 days I also itch a lot, until redness. Thanks in advance!

It can mean many things, but they all deserve medical attention. In general, yellowing of the body means jaundice. However, the reasons can be many. The bridle of the tongue often turns yellow before the eyes. Pay attention to this, but be sure to see a doctor. It may be hereditary (the Balkans are characterized by thalassemia and it has this symptom), some drugs also give such transient conditions. The reasons are many. Without scaring you, visit a doctor. Success! :)
