A fact from Carotenosis appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 31 December 2007, and was viewed approximately 1,104 times (disclaimer) (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that consuming excess carotenoids may lead to their deposition in the stratum corneum and a yellow to yellow-orange discoloration of the skin in a medical condition known as carotenoderma?

Article Title

The title of the article is Carotenosis. However, this term appears only once in the article (aside from the title). The term carotenemia is used instead. If the terms are interchangeable, the body of the article should be changed to reflect the title. If indeed the two terms are not interchangeable, the article should be moved to one with the title Carotenemia. Opinions? Winston Spencer (talk) 23:59, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Likewise to the above comment, it seems that "carotenoderma" is used interchangeably with the "carotenemia", one paragraph using the latter, then next using the former, as if nothing happened. Is it possible to include a note about equivalence of terms or their definitions? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.253.96.133 (talk) 11:53, 8 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

NEW PICTURE PLEASE

This picture is not a good example for the condition. For starters, babies are always red and dappeled so the difference between this baby and a 30 year old are not clear, because no one knows how red this baby is on any given day. Secondly, the baby is wearing red! We all look a little more colorful in the face when we wear red. In all the world can a better and clearer example not be found? Third, he isn't that orange to begin with. Thanks
