8 “signs” of dangerous diseases that we often ignore

1. Jaundice

Jaundice is primarily a reflection of liver problems, which stem from high levels of bilirubin (a bile pigment) in the body, which prevents the body from getting rid of it as waste. This substance causes the skin and whites of the eyes to appear yellowish.

2. White dots appear on nails

These white dots often appear after trauma to the nail or in subjects with the habit of biting their nails. If you are not in the two groups above and the white dot still appears, your body may be deficient in zinc, calcium or protein.

3. Cracked lips

Cracks or blisters at the corners of the lips can appear due to lack of water or too much sun exposure. Besides, using poor quality toothpaste or lipstick also contributes to this condition.

4. Fingernails curl down

Nails that are rough and form curved edges are characteristic of people with chronic lung problems or gastrointestinal problems. If not treated in time, your nails will grow larger and curl down.

5. The appearance of sores in the mouth

Canker sores in the mouth can be caused by hormonal changes, stress, genetics or vitamin B12 deficiency.

6. Squints on the eyelids

The stye often grows very close to the eyelashes, causing itching, pain, and difficulty blinking. They often appear in people with diabetes or dry skin. This is also a sign that you need to clean your makeup brush set and other items that often come into contact with your eyes.

7. The appearance of a circle around the cornea

If you look closely at your cornea and notice a blue, gray, or white circle around it, you may have cataracts. These “rings” are actually fat deposits that result from high cholesterol levels. This is a common condition in the elderly, but if you discovered it at a young age, you should seek the support of a doctor.

8. Pale tongue

Erythema or oral herpes can cause the tongue to turn pale and cause bright red spots on the tongue. In contrast, a dark red tongue is often caused by an infection, acne or vitamin deficiency.
