Skin is the tissue wrapped on the surface of the body and is the organ with the largest area of the human body. It directly contacts the external environment and has the functions of regulating body temperature, feeling external stimuli, protecting and excreting.

Under normal circumstances, a person's skin appears red, which also means that the body is relatively healthy, but with the increase of age and the influence of other factors, there will be some abnormal symptoms on the skin.

At this time, most people will simply think that it is a skin disease, so they don't pay attention to it and just apply medication.

However, clinical data shows that after the following features appear on the skin, it may be a serious illness or even cancer.

1. Dark skin

As we mentioned above, when the body is healthy, if it is not affected by temperature, the skin should be red.

Especially if the neck, face and armpits are more obvious, you must first go to the hospital to check the liver, because the appearance of cancer cells will reduce the liver function, which will lead to a large accumulation of melanin in the body.

2. Strange moles

Moles on the body are relatively normal, which are basically caused by the effects of ultraviolet radiation, lack of sleep, endocrine disorders, and genetics.

If an oval-shaped mole grows on the body, it does not hurt or itchy to the touch, and there is no need to worry too much.

But if an irregularly shaped mole grows on the surface of the skin, you must be highly vigilant, especially if the diameter exceeds 0.6 cm and the color is black and blue, you must consider whether skin cancer has occurred.

3. Recurring shingles

As we all know, shingles is a common skin disease, mostly caused by endocrine disorders. Generally speaking, it can be relieved by applying medicine under the guidance of a doctor.

But if shingles recurs, you must not relax your vigilance, because studies have found that about 12% of cancer patients have had shingles, and its occurrence is closely related to the decline in immunity. For such people In other words, cancer screening must be done in time.

4. Yellow skin

Without the influence of any external factors, the color of the skin shows signs of yellowing, which is very likely a sign of the arrival of liver cancer. This manifestation is clinically called jaundice.

All in all, if you want to judge whether your body is healthy or not, the performance of your skin will give some answers. If you have the symptoms of yellowing and blackening mentioned above, and repeated herpes zoster, please consult a doctor in time.

After the diagnosis is a malignant disease, there is no need to worry too much, because nowadays medical technology is more and more developed, as long as the disease is treated early, the disease can be effectively controlled.
