What Causes Pale Complexion And Dark Circle In Child?
Good afternoon Doctor My son is 5 1/2 years. Every now and then he has a pale completion with darkish circles around his eyes. He is a clever busy body. Can t sit still on one place for longer than 5min. Want to take advantage every now and then therefore the bruzes all over his body. He had some light asthma when Younger. I m concerned about the palenes and dark circles around eyes. Could it be leukemia or neuroblastoma? Or am I just paranoid?

Thanks for asking in Healthcaremagic Forum
In Short: Worm infestation with anaemia can cause this
Explanation: Very happy that you have a very active son. Nowadays children just dont come out of computers and video games. Bruises all over body can cause pale and dark patches all over the body. Or else he may have anemia with worm infestation.
So, visit a doctor to clear your doubt and get investigated. Good luck.
