Iron deficiency anemia
I got my s ferritin levels checked n it was very low around 7.06. my face looks pale and dark as compared to my legs n hands. doc gave me iron supplements for 3 months which are over now. but that paleness hasn't subsided yet... she asked me to get a test done again n repeat the supplements. i wanted to ask how much time would it take to increase iron levels n haemoglobin. n how much time would it take for my skin paleness to subside n skin would become normal.
