Iron Deficiency and Skin

Iron deficiency often manifests externally through changes in skin coloration, characterized by pallor or paleness. Hemoglobin, reliant on iron, contributes to the red hue of blood, and diminished levels lead to a paler complexion. Paleness, particularly noticeable in the face, lips, and inner lower eyelids (conjunctiva), serves as a visible cue of underlying iron deficiency and warrants further investigation.

Iron Deficiency and Nails

Brittle or spoon-shaped nails, called koilonychia, often accompany iron deficiency anemia. The structural integrity of nails depends on adequate iron levels for proper keratinization and collagen synthesis. Insufficient iron disrupts these processes, resulting in brittle, thin, or concave nails prone to splitting, cracking, or breaking easily. Observing changes in nail texture or shape can serve as an early warning sign of underlying iron deficiency.

Iron Deficiency and Ice Chewing

Pica, the consumption of non-nutritive substances such as ice, clay, or dirt, is frequently associated with iron deficiency. The exact mechanism underlying this phenomenon remains unclear, but it's believed to stem from the body's attempt to fulfill iron cravings or alleviate associated symptoms like gastrointestinal distress.

Iron Deficiency and Circulation

Impaired oxygen transport due to insufficient iron can cause shortness of breath, especially during physical activity or exertion. Individuals may experience breathlessness, even with mild exertion, indicating a potential deficiency in iron stores.

Iron Deficiency and Cold Hands and Feet

Which happens when your body prioritizes using oxygen for vital organs instead, leaving your extremities behind. And also, If you’re not getting enough oxygen into your tissues, you don’t have a normal sensation of whats hot and what cold. Another interesting explanation for this is how we all need iron for a healthy thryoid.
When there is a lack of iron, this affects how our thyroid hormones regulate our body temperature.

Iron Deficiency and Hair Loss

This is because our Hair strands need oxygen to grow and stay on your head, having low iron, affects your hemoglobin, which affects how much oxygen your cells carry. Now: If you're losing about 50 to 100 hairs per day, thats normal. But anything above that, may be related back to your iron levels. And Its a condition known as telogen effluvium.

Thank you so much. This was very helpful,

Perfect timing - I just received my bloodwork today and I am low in iron. Thanks doc!

I have iron deficiency and have had it for years and finally had my first iron infusion last year and it helped for half of a year, but now I'm low again. My iron saturation is only 7 right now and my serum iron is 22. I'm not feeling the best recently, because of it, but luckily I'm seeing my hematologist at the end of the month and they'll help me figure out what to do to better help me. I just hate how I feel right now, because I'm cold even when it's really hot out every day and I am so weak and tired all of the time. Also the sides of my mouth peel and separate with iron deficiency as well and it sometimes bleeds. Just wanted to share another symptom that I've noticed every time I've had iron deficiency in the past. Thank you for such a good video explaining all the symptoms. It really helped me. :)

I have had low iron since my 20s and my OB/GYN told me to use slow release. I stopped taking them and in my 40s I started feeling bad so the doctor tested my iron levels and had me get an iron infusion. I used a liquid iron and it did not make a difference because I had my iron checked a year later and the doctor had another iron infusion done. So, I decided to go back to the slow-release iron and I started feeling better, my levels went back up because my doctor tested me again and they weren't low enough for an iron infusion. I am definitely going to try taking my iron every other day though.

[l.pmoonstone]

I just got my bloodwork back.
My ferritin was 28. Is that too low? What would you consider optimal normal levels?
I always read conflicting data on this. Thanks

[FriskyTendervittles]

Are beef liver supplements ok to take instead of the stereotypical iron supplement? I’ve heard a lot of women got their ferritin levels up with these
