Is it only if u have leukemia or anemia then you will have a pale face and pale lips?

I have a very pale face even though my skin colour is dark. people often thought that im sick just by looking at my face. Then one of my friend tell me that her friends has also got a very pale face and lips and she has leukemia. so im very scare abt it.Is it only if u have leukemia or anemia then you will have a pale face and pale lips?
Many other things can cause pale skin. Leukemia comes with a host of other symptoms and it is very rare for a child to get it. When you get a bruise from everytime someone touches you, maybe then you should go to the doctor for that. Pale is not a symptom of cancer.





You may be anemic for instance. Or maybe that's just the way your skin is colored. There are a million things that could be up with you. Ask your mom if she thinks something is wrong. Your parents would probably notice something is wrong with you before you do.Is it only if u have leukemia or anemia then you will have a pale face and pale lips?
Anemia is a lack of the oxygen carrying protein called haemoglobin in the blood. If you're anemic then yes, the signs are being very pale, having pale lips, insides of the eyes and being very tired. It can be remedied with iron pills or just an iron rich diet. It's more likely to be this than leukemia and you'd have far more symptoms if it was. Go to the doctor for blood test to get your iron levels sorted. Best wishes.
I think you would have more symptoms. Some people are just pale.
I was always pale and come to find out I was severly anemic from having heavy periods. You need to have a blood test done. If you are not having any kind of systems your probably fine.
