Noticing our own body is very important, because it can tell us a lot about our health. Common signals that tell us something is wrong include unhealthy nails or hair loss. If this happens to you, it is a warning sign telling you to see a doctor, even if it seems trivial to you. Read what the following warning signs may mean.
Dry and cracked lips
Dry lips and dry skin can be a clear manifestation of an allergy. You are probably allergic to the cosmetics you use or the medications you consume. Cracked lips also indicate a deficiency of vitamins B, A and E. However, if dryness also appears in your eyes or mouth, seek medical help.
Eyebrow loss
If you are significantly losing hair or eyebrows, it can really be a serious problem. Common hair loss is a normal thing, however in excessive amounts it is okay. These problems may indicate thyroid problems.
Red face
A red face occurs with excessive alcohol consumption or with increased temperature. In women over forty it can mean a decrease in hormone levels. It can also indicate fluctuating blood pressure.
White spots on teeth
Dental fluorosis, as it is called professionally, is caused by drinking large amounts of water with a high fluoride content. Fluorosis can even lead to tooth loss.
Dry heels
You may have dry skin on your feet due to a deficiency of vitamins A and E. It may also be a fungal infection on your feet. In any case you should see a doctor. Especially if the dry skin is accompanied by itching.
