Medical Experts Clarify Social Media 'Ferritin Face' Trend

Medical professionals clarified that internet terms like 'ferritin face' and 'iron-deficiency face' are not recognized medical diagnoses.

While iron deficiency can cause anemia and pallor, it does not produce a distinct or specific facial appearance.

Experts noted that facial dullness or dark circles can stem from non-nutritional factors such as poor sleep, stress, or thyroid disorders.
