9 Warning Signs of Leukemia

Paleness

There are different types of leukemia, and when a person develops acute leukemia, the bone marrow divides aggressively; this will ultimately affect the production of blood components like the red blood cells. When the production of red blood cells is low, it is common for otherwise healthy and shiny skin to become dull. When you notice that your skin is becoming pale, it may be a sign of anemia, which can also be a warning sign of leukemia. You should see your doctor as soon as you notice this and a test would most likely be carried out to know if you are producing enough red blood cells or not.
