Carotenoderma – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1036176202

Carotenoderma results from excessive ingestion of carotene from foods such as oranges and carrots. Carotene contributes a yellow component to the colour of normal skin but when taken in excess may impart a diffuse yellow or orange-yellow tinge to the skin, especially on the palms and soles.
