Is it normal for the skin to become paler then usual?!


Question: okay so some of my friends have been telling me i've gotten whiter? is that possible? im usually very white already.., what is causing me to become even whiter then usual? could it be not enough sleep?, eating the wrong things? Is this healthy?

If I were you, I'd get my blood tested for anemia. Having anemia can cause one's skin tone to become really pale. My mother has severe anemia (gets iron infusions every 3 months, and monthly B-12 shots for it) and if you were to see her, you'd swear that she'd just taken a swim in a vat of Elmer's Glue...seriously, she's incredibly pale. If you're constantly fatigued, and have muscle aches/pains all the time, I'd bet money that your hemoglobin levels are lower than they should be. Time to pick up the phone and call your doctor. Its better to be safe than sorry, right?

becoming pale usually means you are getting sick, or you need vitamins.

maybe a little sun.....

Sometimes it can be because you don't get enough sunlight.
