Pale skin

Pale skin is a bright complexion due to a number of reasons.

Usually, a healthy skin tone is pink.

This complexion indicates that the microcirculation of blood in the skin is carried out normally, without any violations.

[1], [2]

Causes of the pale skin

The causes of a person's pale skin most often need to be sought in violation of a healthy lifestyle. Factors causing pale skin are:

1. Poor, inadequate monotonous diet, in which there are not enough useful components to maintain the function of blood formation, as well as the optimal functioning of the whole organism.
2. Smoking tobacco.
3. Abuse of alcoholic beverages.
4. Unfavorable ecological situation in the place of residence of a person, poor quality of air, water and soil.
5. Constant presence in the room, especially with musty and smoky air. The lack of regular walks in the fresh air, especially in parks and squares, for a long time.
6. Constant and long-term stresses that destabilize the entire human body and cause various psychosomatic diseases.
7. Strong emotional shock once in a lifetime.

Pale skin is also a symptom of a person’s disease. Most often, the paleness of the skin is caused by the presence of iron deficiency anemia in the body, which is accompanied by the appearance of constant weakness, fatigue and feelings of lack of air. Anemia in women is most often caused by prolonged and severe menstrual bleeding, which affects the color of the skin. Also, iron deficiency anemia accompanies diseases such as peptic ulcer and duodenal ulcer, hemorrhoids, as well as intestinal tumors.

Pale skin is observed in the following conditions:

• Sometimes with fever due to a generalized spasm of the skin vessels, the skin may turn pale (the so-called pale fever). With pale fever, the use of physical methods of cooling is unacceptable.
• In people with a labile autonomic nervous system, reddening and blanching of the skin can alternate due to fluctuations in tone, and, consequently, blood filling of small arteries and arterioles of the skin.
• Permanent and often increasing paleness of the skin occurs when the hemoglobin content in the blood decreases (anemia), for example, in acute blood loss or various blood diseases.
• Whitening of the skin of the fingertips, caused by a spasm of blood vessels, provoked by cold or negative emotions and accompanied by a feeling of numbness (a symptom of "dead fingers"), is observed with Raynaud's syndrome.

The use of a large amount of aspirin as a medicine can also lead to a change in skin color and lightening. Insufficiency in the body of ascorbic acid also causes pallor of the skin.

In some cases, the pallor of the skin is caused by heredity, which is a distinctive individual feature of a person and is not associated with any diseases. To make sure that there are no dysfunctions of the body, you need to evaluate the color of the mucous membranes and nails. If in severe pallor of the skin mucous membranes and nails have a normal color, this indicates a healthy state of the human body.

[3], [4], [5], [6]

Pathogenesis

If certain dysfunctions are observed in the human body, this affects the quality of the blood microcirculation in the skin. The blood begins to flow into the skin in insufficient quantities, which leads to a change in the color of the face and body - it becomes pale.

It can be said that with the exception of genetic features that cause pallor of the skin without disturbing the state of human health, very light skin color is the result of complex disorders in the body of an individual.

The peculiarity of pale skin is its intolerance to tanning procedures, since it is very gentle and does not tolerate harmful environmental factors. Representatives of light skin are wary of staying under the scorching rays of the summer sun for a long time, and are also the main consumers of means of protection from the sun's rays and burns in the summer.

Pale skin color can be made more attractive if you emphasize it with a certain hair color and makeup, as well as suitable shades of clothing. If fair skin gives a lot of chagrin to beautiful ladies, then it can always be made darker with the help of a tanning bed, as well as with special homemade masks and industrial cosmetics.

Symptoms of the pale skin

In some cases, the presence of very light skin indicates the presence of diseases in the body.

With pale skin changes the tone of the vessels, which are penetrated the skin. As a result, microcirculation is disturbed, which causes skin lightening. Reducing the amount of hemoglobin in the blood is also the cause of a lighter tone in certain diseases. The low content of red blood cells in peripheral blood in certain diseases is also manifested in an increase in the pallor of the skin.

Pale skin and bruises under the eyes

Pale skin and bruises under the eyes are a sign of illness and dysfunction of the body.

What can cause such a combination?

1. In the first place, such phenomena can be caused by overwork. Owners of such defects, most likely, sleep little, stay up late at work or at a computer entertainment, are burdened with taking care of young children and countless household chores. All this violates the natural wellness cycle of sleep, does not allow to get enough sleep and restore the body. A large amount of work and intense, without the ability to relax, the rhythm of life provokes a change in appearance not for the better.
2. Pallor of the skin in combination with dark circles under the eyes can be caused by a constant stay in the room, without the possibility of regular walks in the fresh air. This way of life develops in cases where women have dedicated their lives to work or simply lead a home, sedentary lifestyle. The lack of sufficient oxygen leads to a decrease in the level of hemoglobin in the blood, which adversely affects the appearance.
3. Wrong, poor in nutrients food provokes the appearance of dark circles under the eyes. Fast foods and a large amount of salt, abuse of spices and spices cause problems with digestion. Malfunctions of the digestive tract lead to disruption of the functioning of internal organs and tissues.
4. Alcohol abuse and smoking also adversely affect the appearance and health of the fair sex.
5. When certain diseases of the internal organs appear dark circles under the eyes. These include diseases of the cardiovascular and urinary systems:
   • vegetative-vascular dystonia, arterial hypertension, congenital and acquired heart defects, chronic and acute heart failure;
   • pyelonephritis, autoimmune diseases of the kidneys, glomerulonephritis.

A stagnant fluid in the body, which is observed in such diseases, provokes its accumulation mainly in the subcutaneous fatty tissues of the eyelids. This disrupts the proper circulation of blood in the vessels, which leads to the appearance of dark circles under the eyes.

6. Permanent colds provoke the occurrence of puffiness under the eyes due to the constant intoxication of the body. If a headache, fever, dark circles under the eyes were added to this symptom, then it is safe to say that the sinuses of the nose were inflamed with sinus, frontal sinusitis and polysinusitis.
7. One of the reasons for the appearance of permanent bruises under the eyes are hereditary factors. With thin and pale skin around the eyes, vessels close to the skin create an impression of dark circles under the eyes. Such features of appearance are most often transmitted genetically.

Pale skin in a child

Sometimes mothers begin to worry that their baby has pale skin. The easiest way to find out whether the baby is sick or not by contacting a doctor. The specialist will examine the condition of the mucous membranes of the mouth and eyes of the child, pay attention to the color of his nails. If all the examined covers are of normal color, and the child does not show lethargy and weakness, eats well and sleeps, then the baby is considered to be completely healthy. It is possible that pale skin caused hereditary factors or lack of sufficient sun during the winter.

The presence of other disturbing symptoms, in addition to severe pallor, may serve as a signal to identify certain diseases.

• If the baby is one and a half to two years old, and in addition to the paleness of the skin, the child is worried about his parents with irritability and fatigue, then anemia can be suspected.
• The presence of dark circles under the eyes together with fair skin can indicate allergies, diseases of the urinary and cardiovascular systems.
• If with the pallor of the skin of a baby, bruises appear in various parts of the body, then such oddity may indicate blood diseases.

For any disturbing symptoms, consult a pediatrician, who can prescribe the necessary examination and appropriate treatment.

Pale skin in infants

Pale skin in infants is in the form of a bluish tinge with streaks of blood vessels in the form of spots or reticular pattern. This skin is called marble. And most often appears on the hands and feet of the baby.

The cause of the marble skin is considered to be insufficient maturity of the infant’s vascular system. Temperature changes cause the baby such a reaction, because his body has not yet adapted to environmental changes. Vessels and capillaries, which are close to the skin, actively expand and contract, which gives the skin such a strange marble color. In this case, the mother should not worry, and wait six months, when such manifestations completely disappear.

Physiological, that is, the natural marbling of the skin is found in premature babies. This is an absolutely normal phenomenon that will disappear by a certain date.

In some cases, marble skin indicates the presence of certain diseases in a child, namely congenital heart defects, rickets, anemia, intracranial hypertension, perinatal encephalopathy, and genetic diseases of a different spectrum.

In any case, if the baby has paleness or marbling of the skin, it is recommended to consult a pediatrician who can correctly indicate the causes of such skin manifestations.
