Health Problems That Show-up on Your Skin

It is an imbalance of immune cells causing leaching or inflammation underneath the skin and is visible in form of patchy red skin. It can also be diagnosed at 50’s and 60’s.


2. If you are suffering from severely dry, itchy skin and it is not subsiding despite layering it up with moisturisers and drinking plentiful of water then it is a cause of deeper concern. If your symptoms are accompanied by weight loss and fatigue then your skin is vocalizing about an underlying Thyroid or renal disease.


3. You have healthy eating habits and still get those pesky acne’s. It symbolizes stress, because every anxiety spree of yours releases cortisol in your body leading to ugly breakouts of acne. That is the reason that doctor often prescribes a birth control pill to manage them or some meditating techniques of yoga to calm your anxious mind.
