GlossaryCarotenoderma (Carotenemia)

yellow-orange skin discoloration from eating too many carotenoid-rich foods

Carotenoderma, also known as carotenemia, is a condition characterized by yellow-orange discoloration of the skin, particularly on the palms and soles. This occurs due to excessive consumption of carotenoid-rich foods like carrots, sweet potatoes, and pumpkins, leading to elevated levels of carotenoids in the blood. The condition is harmless and can be reversed by adjusting dietary intake.
