A member asked:
Does anyone know if anaemia affects the skin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pallor.: Anemia, per se, will just cause the skin and mucus menbranes to appear pale. The cause of the anemia is important, though because vitamin and mineral deficiencies, as well as a number of diseases, can cause anemia and also affect the skin.
