Carotenodermia may arise from excessive dietary intake of carotene containing foods. We reported a 22-year-old woman who had eaten excessive amount of carotene-rich seaweed to lose weight. Her skin color changed to orange-yellow, and her serum beta-carotene was 573 micrograms/dl. After stopping the ingestion of seaweed, her skin color returned to normal.
胡萝卜素血症可能源于饮食中过量摄入富含胡萝卜素的食物。我们报告了一名22岁女性，她为了减肥食用了过量富含胡萝卜素的海藻。她的皮肤颜色变成了橙黄色，血清β-胡萝卜素为573微克/分升。停止食用海藻后，她的皮肤颜色恢复正常。
