Pale skin

Pale skin is a symptom of anemia or other blood-related issues. It is characterized by a lack of color in the skin, appearing wan and ashen. It may also be accompanied by fatigue, dizziness, and shortness of breath. Pale skin develops gradually due to a decrease in red blood cells or hemoglobin, which are responsible for carrying oxygen to the body's cells. Depending on the cause, other symptoms may manifest, such as headaches, chest pain, or rapid heart rate.
