Abstract
The combination of carotenemia and lycopenemia results in an orange color of the skin, as illustrated by our 2 cases of so-called "orange people." No other etiology of this coloration was found. The treatment is simple and effective[long dash]discontinuation of the ingestion of yellow- and red-pigmented foodstuffs.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
