Cause #7: Pallor

Pallor refers to the paleness of the skin that can be caused by stress, emotional shock, illness, anemia, stimulant use, and more. Examples include cancer, hypoglycemia, vitamin D deficiency, shock, leukemia, panic attack, etcetera. It is most obvious on the palms and face.

Depending on the cause, it can develop gradually or suddenly. Patients with pallor usually have pale lips, palms, and tongue. It should be distinguished from hypopigmentation and a fair complexion. In low blood pressure, the poor perfusion can also result in pallor and cold clammy skin.
