Yellowish pale: You need to have a detailed history taken (for example how much carrot juice or V8 do you drink a day? Then have a careful physical exam with a focus on lymph nodes and spleen. Then review these results and decide what is causing the paleness. I would also look at skin color in all of you family as a clue to it might just be your gene pool. Unless you are adopted. Skin color is inherited.
