2. Hair loss on the legs
If you notice hair loss on your legs, this could indicate peripheral artery disease (PAD). PAD is characterized by a buildup of plaque in the arteries of the legs, which restricts blood flow.
A lack of nutrients and oxygen can lead to hair loss. While hair loss itself isn’t alarming, it can be one of the first signs of a more serious problem. It’s advisable to consult your doctor to have your blood circulation assessed.
3. Xanthelasmas
Xanthelasma appears as yellowish spots around the eyes, primarily on the upper eyelids. This can be a sign of high cholesterol. The accumulation of these spots may indicate an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
If you notice these marks, it is wise to inform your doctor so that he can check your cholesterol levels and assess the condition of your heart.
