A member asked:

Got pale skin and vit d deficiency, my blood test/liver function test/thyroid test result were normal. so what would be posible cause of pale?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Genetics and sun: Pale skin is not a disease. The color of skin is determined by genetics and sun exposure. If your genes give you pale skin and you don't get a lot of sun, you'll be pale. Vitamin d deficiency doesn't make you pale. Lack of sun, however, will make you pale and give you vitamin d deficiency. Hope that helps.
