Carotenemia is a yellow pigmentation of the skin associated with increased blood carotene levels. It is associated with large consumption of carotene in the diet and is typically seen in infants and toddlers and less commonly in older children and adults (vegetarians, in particular) who eat large quantities of foods high in carotene. Carotene-rich foods include breast milk, carrots, squash, sweet potato, pumpkin, spinach, beans, egg yolks, corn, and yams as well as red palm oil.
