Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Jaundice is a condition produced when excess amounts of bilirubin circulating in the blood stream dissolve in the subcutaneous fat (the layer of fat just beneath the skin), causing a yellowish appearance of the skin and the whites of the eyes.
Detailed explanation-2: -In a newborn baby, this removal process is not fully developed. The buildup of bilirubin in the blood is called hyperbilirubinemia. Because bilirubin has a pigment, or coloring, it causes a yellowing of the baby’s eyes, skin, and tissues. As liver function matures, the jaundice goes away.
