Hi,
The main cause of rusty/orange hand discoloration are different foods. Not just carrots, but everything with red, orange or violet color.
I would recommend you to have some liver tests done, so as to exclude rare liver conditions that may cause this discoloration. If they come out negative, than it is deffinitely a dietary problem.
I hope I have answered your question.
Wish you good health!
