Facial itching without rash may be linked to iron deficiency, supported by lab findings (microcytic anemia, thrombocytosis, erythrocytosis).
Next Steps
Continue iron supplementation. Monitor Hb and ferritin. If no improvement, evaluate for thyroid issues or other systemic causes of pruritus.
Health Tips
Use gentle cleansers, moisturize regularly, and avoid triggers. If itching worsens, consult a dermatologist and consider further hematological workup.
