You mean jaundice?
My daughter was born with jaundice and it
went away on its own. Usually, babies that
are pre-term have this.
It's because the liver is underdeveloped
and cannot process everything.
I'm no expert.
When my daughter developed it, she was
kind of orange in color. They put her in a
cradle with what looked like UV lights and
laid her on a UV blanket. It cleared up in
a few days and she is perfectly fine.
Why do you ask?

i had jaundice for about 6 months quite
bad, now am back to my normally colour
except sometimes when i wake up my eyes
are still yellow in the corners, i wouldnt
worry about it, just go to the docs and
get your liver checked out and youll be
fine.
