Warning Signs That You Are Unhealthy
Chronic Acne And Other Skin Issues

Patients with health issues may develop chronic acne and other skin issues. For example, chronic acne that persists past the age of twenty-five could be a sign of hormonal imbalances, and it is associated with polycystic ovarian syndrome and congenital adrenal hyperplasia. Certain types of skin rashes, including a 'butterfly rash' that forms on the cheeks and nose, could be associated with autoimmune conditions such as lupus. Itching skin may be an indicator of liver problems, and easy bruising or bleeding of the skin can occur in cases of leukemia and other blood disorders. Patients are advised to examine their skin regularly for any changes, and any new or unusual redness, bruising, rashes, or itching should be investigated by a doctor. Skin issues are normally treated first with topical gels, and oral medications or injections may be used as needed.
