Pallor and anemia
Some children have skin white in nature, but in other pallor may be a sign of anemia.
In this case, its color is white, not shades of yellow. To make sure the diagnosis is right, just to see whether the conjunctival of the eyes, mucous membranes of the nose and lips, as well as nails and the palms are also pale.

The most common cause of anemia is the lack of iron, needed to form hemoglobin. Sometimes this gap arises after an infection or other illness, or because the diet is poor in this mineral element.

But it also can cause anemia, bleeding, worms or some metabolic disorder that prevents the absorption of iron. In any case, the child should be examined by the pediatrician.
