Pale skin

3 Replies

I've also been having pale skin which makes me so nervous every time I look in the mirror, I keep thinking this must mean I'm really sick there has to be an underlying problem. I'm so tired of feeling like this every single day it's terrifying

Not sure if it is the problem but get your doctor to check your iron levels, you could be anaemic, it's a simple and pretty painless blood test, but if you are it could explain the pale skin, it can also make you tired a lot of the time and you might bruise more easily, I hope you find out the cause and I really hope you feel better soon.

I've gotten multiple blood tests done but idk if I got one for Anemia😩 all of my results came back normal is there a specific blood test for that?

I believe they have to specifically test for the ferritin levels I'm not sure if they do it as standard. if you ask your doctor he/she should be able to put in the request for it.
