Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Paleness may be the result of decreased blood supply to the skin. It can also be due to decreased number of red blood cells (anemia). Paleness of the skin is not the same as loss of pigment from the skin. Paleness is related to blood flow in the skin rather than deposit of melanin in the skin.

Detailed explanation-2: -Paleness, also known as pallor, is an unusual lightness of skin color compared with your normal complexion. It’s different than having skin that’s naturally light. Paleness is not a condition in and of itself. It may be caused by reduced blood flow and oxygen or by a decreased number of red blood cells.
