Problem skin is always a consequence. The consequence of improper care or certain health problems. And if the foundation helps to cope with the external manifestations, then to eliminate the true cause, it is important to consult a doctor, writes Today.
What signs should alert you?
Rare eyebrows
Some women think that their eyebrows are thinning on their own due to age-related changes in the body or the enthusiasm for depilating extra hairs. Of course, all of this is also a cause, but such a visual problem may signal hypothyroidism - insufficient production of thyroid hormones. Hypothyroidism is also accompanied by dry skin, fatigue and general lethargy, weight gain.
Acne and facial hair
Our faces are covered with hair from birth, but in most cases these are thin vellus hairs that are visible only upon closer inspection (or the application of an unsuccessful "toner"). But if there is a lot of hair, they are dark and coarse, and at the same time acne rashes and pimples regularly appear on the face, although you have long gone through puberty, you should consult a doctor. This could indicate polycystic ovary syndrome, excess male hormones, and other problems.
Red face
We all blush from time to time - this can come from embarrassment, fear, alcohol or, for example, in the cold. But if not only your cheeks, but also your chin turn red, and there is no specific reason for this (and even more so if the situation worsens in the summer), this may indicate systemic lupus erythematosus, which Dr. House "loved" so much. The disease is also characterized by joint and muscle pain.
Bags and circles under the eyes
In the mornings, both are normal for most women. But if you notice puffiness during the day and in the evening, and the circles do not want to leave, and all this is observed all the time, maybe you have too much salt in your diet, or you are allergic. With reddening, we can talk about dermatomyositis, which is also accompanied by muscle pain and general weakness. In all these cases, consult a doctor as soon as possible to dispel doubts.
