Can you have anemia and not know it?

Question

I recently heard that iron deficiency can help cause acne and I have never had much iron rich food in my diet. I have skin trouble for a long time and wondered if they might be connected. Thanks!

Answer

I had anemia when I was 5-6 and it was treated, but I recently discovered that I have anemia because my hair came out in huge globs. The fatigue and dizziness came a little later. My mom requested a script and I tested positive. The nurse said my case wasn't severe, but not extremely mild.
So yup! You can! If your worried you can request a script to get tested (I believe).

Answer

Try adding more iron to your diet and see if your skin will start clearing up. I don't see how the two connect but it can't hurt to try
