5. Pallor
A person who is very pale or paler than normal may not be getting enough oxygen to their skin. One of tissues that hemoglobin helps transport oxygen to is the skin.
People with anemia may also have other issues with their skin. They may have dark circles under the eyes that don't go away with rest or slow-healing wounds. Their skin may be too dry or have an overproduction of sebum, leading to acne.
