Hello, i’m 19 yrs old and one day i noticed my hands smell like starch combined with iron, and after 2 days of smelling like this all the time they starded turnin orange, i want to mention before that i don’t eat carots tomatoes or any red colorant in general, i saw some people saying it’s bcs of some wipes that i don’t use as well, i want to mention the fact that i feel very sick, always nauseous with stomach pain when my hands turn orange, i had it before like 4 months ago, it disappeared in time and now is back, can someone please tell me if they know what can cause this? I will leave some photos here

Hi Bianca. there has been a 15 page thread running on this for about 3 years, so I hope you'll find some answers there!

Your hands look everything like the photos in the other VERY long thread bianca
I would suggest you see your doctor because after three years of posts on here no one is any the wiser so not at all sure what anyone can add without just repeating and going over old ground as Chestnut said
What does you Mum or family think have they any advice ?

Perhaps go to your doctor or see a pharmacist. We’re not experts on here. You’re unlikely to get any more info than from the previous VERY LONG thread.
