Hi I'm a 24 year old female, who was recently checked for having low iron levels via a blood test. The rest concluded that I was iron deficient and since then I was prescribed palefor iron supplements. I had taken them for a while but have stopped for a few months now. I am currently on my period and have been feeling tired and dizzy and I have a pretty bad headache today. I also noticed for the first time ever two small purple coloured dots on the outside of my left hand. One looks like a small dot the other is larger almost a cm and both are flat and do not hurt when pressed. Are these purple dots part of my iron deficiency or is it from something else?
