A member asked:
My hands are getting patchy orange just in my right hand just in the last two days i am back working as a kitchen porter in a hotel?

Orange color: It would appear that some substance you're handling is responsible for the Orange discoloration. Carrots can cause staining of skin when ingested in large amounts. You are going to have to play detective in order to find out what's the cause of the Orange discoloration on your hand.
