DD is 8 and has always had a pale complexion and dark circles around her eyes, she's a fussy eater and not a fan of veg etc, but I started her on and iron and multivitamin supplement for kids, it says there's 7mg of iron I'm it and she's been having 1 Tablet a day for a few weeks and still looks pasty with dark circles...her Nan came over today and said she looked really pale and now I'm really worried about what it's from, I was going to take her for a blood test a while ago and she was sobbing and having a meltdown about it so I ended up leaving it.
I know no one is going to be able to diagnose and I need to take her to the doctors, but just seeing if anyone else's child is similar ? She's OK apart from looking pale...healthy weight, regular toilet habits etc. X

Evening, OP. Just bumping this for you to see if anyone's around now who's had any experience of this sort of thing. Hope your DD is ok.
