So i'm iron deficient n my s ferritin is really low around 7.04. N my doc when saw me was like u look really pale. N my face does look really pale n yellow. But my hands look bright white n this was not this has been the case from past 5-6 yrs. Can it happen that iron deficiency just makes your face look pale n dull n 3-4 shades darker than your actual skin tone ( skin tone on hands n legs). if yes then with proper medication n diet how much time would it take for this paleness on my face neck n chest to subside.?
