Answer
Hi Thomas,
You don't mention other areas of your care but I am going to include a basic care sheet that I wrote to help people out with the care an iguana needs.
Your iguana is pretty small for his age so be sure to read the care info carefully.
With iguanas, when they are getting ready to shed, their skin looks white.  As they get older, when they are getting ready to shed, especially their legs can look like melted wax.
Is this what you mean by pale color?
If not, can you post a picture of his foot?
Does he use his foot normally?
