I'm "suffering" from quite extreme carotenemia. It's around my chin, along my nose and between my eyebrows. It's not so noticeable in normal lighting conditions, but when I use my flashlight on my face and make a photo, I look like a sweet potato myself.
It's troublesome because sweet potatoes are among the only carbohydrates I've found to be tolerated by my body. I know I have to lower my consumption of them, and I will. I have no access to white flesh ones.
I've read that carotenemia can develop at only 30mg of beta carotene a day, and I'm eating well over 150mg.
Has anybody here also gotten carotenemia from the consumption of these high carotene vegetables?
