Bad beta carotene overdose. Should I stop?

[theone123]

I’ve been on like 75-100k iu daily with lycopene for past few months. My coloring is crazy good now, but my chest back and neck are covered in like this orangish rash and spots. It doesn’t itch or bother me but it’s all over. Should I just lower dose or completely stop

Honestly I would completely stop, THEN pick it back up at a lower dose. This is because beta carotene is fat soluble meaning it's stored in the body and can't just be pissed out. Always better safe then sorry, you don't want to harm your body.
