If there are any physical changes in your face, there are many things to watch out for. If you encounter any of these four changes, it could be a sign of an undiscovered underlying medical condition. For your own safety, continue to be watchful and proactive.
1. Eyebrow thinning
Medical problems such as atopic dermatitis and hypothyroidism can cause eyebrow thinning, according to Livestrong.com. Hypothyroidism, or an underactive thyroid gland, can be the cause of generalized hair thinning. Furthermore, eyebrow loss may be related to atopic dermatitis, a skin condition that affects 20% of the population.
2. Intense acne and unusual hair
Generally speaking, mild acne and peach fuzz are acceptable. However, you may need medical attention if you have severe acne or a lot of facial hair. It might indicate PCOS, a disorder characterized by irregular menstruation, obesity, infertility, and aberrant hair growth. Contact your doctor as soon as you become aware of these symptoms.
3. Red rashes and bumps
An red rash on your neck or face may indicate digestive issues or autoimmune diseases like celiac disease or lupus. Stay informed about these potential health concerns.
4. Under-eye circles
If there are any changes, pay close notice, but periodic dark circles beneath the eyes caused by sleep deprivation are normal. If it is accompanied by red or black spots, it may be a sign of Dermatomyositis, an autoimmune disease that results in muscle discomfort and paralysis. See a doctor as soon as possible if you experience any of these signs.
