Health Conditions may cause Paleness

Though fair skin may simply be an indication that you protect your skin from the sun, paleness may be a sign of a health problem that needs to be addressed.

The ADAM Encyclopedia lists these health conditions and problems that may cause pale skin:
  • Anemia or insufficient red blood cells.
  • Insufficient blood flow to the skin from being cold, having low blood sugar or fainting.
  • Shock.
  • Frostbite.
  • Chronic disease such as cancer or infection.
