Jaundice or Carotenemia?
Posted: 12-08-07 10:15am

I did a search on the net .It could be either case1-jaundice or case 2- carotenemia.

Erm,is there any method to know which i am suffering from without going to the clinic?

2months ago i have been eating alot of carrot products such as carrot juice and raw carrots.I followed that diet for about one week then stopped,but at that point in time my palms and feet were normal colored.

I think about 1 month ago i started to notice that my palm and feet were turning more yellowish even though i did not eat much of the beta carotene stuff.

Does carotenemia last very long? Or am i suffering from jaundice?

I am very fearful right now to be honest .I am only 17 years old.
