Hi...by what you say I feel that they are considering megalobalstic anemia or vitamin B12 and Folic acid deficiency. Rather than the tests you have provided me here, I would like to know about the hemoglobin level and MCv rather than these.

Please get back to me with the above information and if possible an image of the hands and feet where it is dark.

Please revert back to me with answers so that I can guide you better.
