Will increasing the hemoglobin in our body help us look pinker in the face?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes.: When anemia improves , the skin pallor improves. If you buy medications over the counter on your own to supplement iron, folate (folic acid) and vitamin B12 the 3 elements we need for normal red cell production and maintenence , always keep your docotr informed your docotr that you are on supplements on your own as sometimes over supplementation can lead to overloading of system, not good especially with iron
