How long does excess beta carotene last? when will a few yellow orange spots on my finger disappear?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Carotonemia?: Did you get the yellow orange spots from ingesting Beta Carotene or did if stain your skin from handling foods like carrots? If it was just your fingertips that were externally stained that should wear off. If you had staining of multiple areas like palms, soles, knees, elbows & folds near nose that is likely from ingestion. Carotenemia color resolves in 3 or 4 week
