Pale face n chest skin
My face looks pale n due to that a bit darker n dull than my actual skin tone. My hands and legs look the actual skin tone n bright white. My face wasn't this tone before but for the last 5-6 yrs this isthe case. Recently i got my s ferritin checked n it was really low 7.04 something n my haemoglobin is also low as a result. Does my facelook pale bcoz of irin deficiency anemia?
I went to a dermatologist n got peels done thinking its tan but it didn't improve.
Pls help.
is this localized paleness only on face bcoz of nutritional deficiency n if yes then given i'm following a proper diet n supplements, how much time would it take to subside.

Before starting any treatment i would suggest you get your iron and hb level corrected as the problem you are facing is due to low Hb. Once that is corrected the paleness will be automatically corrected. Then you can decide on the further treatment by consulting a dermatologist.
Continue with the supplements as guided by your doctor to treat the deficiency.
