If someone just doesn’t look right – they could be ill...
There are a lot of common health issues that could be written all over our face, feet or fingers:
• Early wrinkles in women can hint at a greater risk of lower bone density.
• Swollen feet, without injury, could be a sign you’re more prone to heart disease.
• Pitted fingernails could indicate arthritis and should be checked by a doctor.
• A butterfly rash, which stretches across both cheeks in the shape of a butterfly, is a classic symptom of lupus, an immune-system disorder that affects the skin, joints, blood and kidneys.
• Hair loss can be alarming for women. Pregnancy, stress and hormones could be to blame – but dry, thinning hair can also indicate an overactive thyroid.
• Severely dry or cracked lips can be a symptom of Sjögren’s (SHOW-grens) syndrome, another immune disorder.
• A yellowing in the whites of the eyes could indicate liver disease such as hepatitis or cirrhosis.
