What Could Be The Reason For Having Orange Color Under My Toe Nails?
hi I am having some discoloration an orange color under my toe nails and no one can give any answers as to why this is occurring aside from eating food in the color orange (example carrots ect.). Can you please tell what ideas you may have? thank you
I think most probably you may be having ....Carotinemia.Carotenemia is a clinical condition characterized by yellow-orange pigmentation of the skin. It may be due to increased beta-carotene levels in the blood. In most cases, the condition follows prolonged and excessive consumption of carotene-rich foods, such as carrots, squash, and sweet potatoes.
There is no need of treatmen.
Hope this helps.
