Question 2

Accepted Answer

Potentially many: Anemia, lack of sun exposure, skin pigment disorders. Of most concern would be acute blood loss. Please see a physician.

Question 3

how can i lighten my skin and be pale?

Accepted Answer

Protect skin: For lighter skin – always protect your skin. 1. Use a broad spectrum sun screen with a high SPF. Apply as often as needed. 2. Wears hat or other clothing to protect skin from Sun’s UV rays. 3. Try to avoid mid-day sun.  A medication like hydroquinone may take months to work and usually it’s use would be limited to a particular site on the body.

Question 4

is it more advantageous to have pale or tan skin?

Accepted Answer

Pale: Sun exposure is a significant precursor to skin cancer and skin degredation in later life.  Tanning has some esthetic appeal but must be weighed against that eventuality in later life.

Question 5

i am really tired lately and very pale, what can this be?

Accepted Answer

Anything: You can have sleep problems from snoring, apnea, restless legs, poor sleep hygeine, anxiety/depression, anemia, thyroid problems, napping during the day, night seizures, noises in the neighborhood waking you up, bed bugs, waking up to use the bathroom, acid reflux, allergies, or any number of things.  I recommend seeing a doctor to get checked out.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Mild sun exposure : Sun exposure of 15 -30 minutes bases on skin type.

Question 7

what's the most common cause of petechiae and unusual paleness in people all ages?

Accepted Answer

: Paleness is common in anemia or low blood while petechiae are suggestive of low platelets. However they can be both seen in a variety of acute and post acute conditions, as well as chronic diseases.

Question 8

i am 28 years old .....my weight is 45kg while my height is 5.3 i am so pale and weak?

Accepted Answer

Anemia?: Pallor and weakness can be a sign of anemia.  Screening for this condition involves a simple blood test.  Your doctor may decide to investigate other causes of weakness at the same time, so a complete physical would be appropriate.

Question 9

my son is 5 very tall and thin his bowels are always flaky and crumbly and pale is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily : Pale stools may point to a liver problem or can be a normal variant. Consult your pediatrician, who can assess your son's overall health and can help decide whether he needs additional tests or a consultation with a pediatric gastroenterologist (gi specialist.).

Question 10

i am a 24th old male and recently had a small piece of pale white flesh come our after an ejaculation?

Accepted Answer

Other ideas.: Semen has a process of coagulation (going solid) then liquifying. Also, if uncircumsized, a collection of mainly dead skin, smegma, also can collect and be dislodged. It's very unlikley that a real part of you could just fall off and not have bleeding.
