Detailed explanation-1: -First described in 1919 by Hess and Meyers, carotenemia is the medical terminology describing yellow-orange skin pigmentation due to high carotene levels in the blood. Excessive consumption of fruits and vegetables high in carotene content is often the culprit.
Detailed explanation-2: -Excessive dietary intake of carotene-rich food is by far the most common cause of carotenemia. In rare cases, it can result from systemic diseases like diabetes mellitus, nephritic syndrome, glomerulonephritis, hypothyroidism, anorexia nervosa, and primary hepatic disease.
