5 Serious Health Problems Signaled by Our Skin

Rashes

Any sudden rashes on your skin show that there is something wrong with your body. It could be an allergy to food, home chemicals, medical drugs, or even a contagious disease, such as chicken pox. In any case, it is better to turn to a doctor because allergic reactions can lead to serious consequences and one of them is Stevens-Johnson syndrome.

 

Edemas

If you have edemas every day, it is worth seeing an endocrinologist because they can be a sign of hypothyroidism. This condition can occur when the thyroid glands fail to produce sufficient quantities of hormones. You can have the following symptoms: dry skin, face and limb edemas, hair loss, fragile nails and weight gain.

 

New moles and tags

There are many reasons why moles can appear on the skin and the most common one is heredity. If your parents have big birthmarks, you may also have them. Other reasons can be either excessive ultraviolet exposure or hormone imbalance.

In most cases moles are harmless, but if they number grows rapidly, they are painful, or they change in color and size, it is a good reason to visit a doctor. If you notice that you have a new strange mole or tag, or one of the existing moles started to itch or bleed make an appointment with your dermatologist.
