  • The accumulation of iron in the body, due to blood transfusions, causes among other problems (heart, lever, kidney, etc) a darkenig of the skin, which is a typical symptom of thalassemia. If the patient is properly treated with chelators for a long period, the skin reverts to a lighter colour. Good luck!
