2. Hair Loss on the Legs
If you notice hair loss on your legs, it could indicate peripheral arterial disease (PAD). PAD is similar to the buildup of plaque in the arteries of the legs, which restricts blood flow.
A lack of sufficient nutrients and oxygen can cause hair loss. While hair loss alone is not a cause for concern, it could be one of the first signs of a more serious problem. It’s a good idea to see your doctor to evaluate your blood circulation.
3. Xanthelasmas
Xanthelasmas appear as yellowish spots around the eyes, primarily on the upper eyelids. This can be a sign of high cholesterol. The accumulation of these spots could indicate an increased risk of heart disease.
If you notice these marks, it’s wise to inform your doctor so they can check your cholesterol levels and evaluate your heart condition.
