Can lack of iron or dehyrodraction cause my hands to turn pale?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can not be certain: Palor is a relative term. Skin color does not help us in defining anemia(due to iron deficiency). If you feel well. I would not worry. If you are unwell(feel tired easy) then get your blood counts(hemoglobin) checked and you will get your answer quickly.
