I have been on MFP for 2 months and doing really well. Today I noticed the skin around my nails and my cuticles are yellow. Anyone else experiencing that? Or does anyone have any idea why?

    If you aren't a smoker or haven't been using self tanner, I suggest a doctor's visit.

    Have you increased the amount of carrots or other orange colored foods you're consuming? As crazy as it sounds, it'll start to turn your skin colors, which isn't that big of a deal medically speaking.

    If not, be sure to check the whites of your eyes. If they're yellowed at all, go see your doctor cause it means you're jaundiced, which is related to the amount of bilirubin you produce.
