Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic

I am Dr. Dadapeer K, an ophthalmologist and I will be answering problems related to eye.

I reviewed your history and the photos attached with the question.

This is normal pigmentation and it is not jaundice, hence no need to be worried.

Jaundice will appear bright yellow and this is not jaundice.

Hope this answers your question.

Thank you
