Visual Signs That You Actually Have Health Problems

Tripe Palms

Tripe palms are characterized by thickened velvety palms that have the appearance of tripe, also similar to that of the stomach lining of beef, pork, or sheep. This visual health sign is a problem that can't easily be ignored and most definitely shouldn't be taken lightly.

Approximately 90% of cases of tripe palms are associated with internal malignancy. This skin disease is very rare, so don't stress about it too much. It usually occurs before the diagnosis of thecancer, but may arise during any point in the course of the malignancy.

With this visual sign, the sufferer’s hands thicken and are said to resemble the food called tripe, which is a sort of boiled offal.It is typically the sign of an internal problem needing checked out as soon as possible by your health practitioner rather than something you can safely ignore.

Moles on Skin

Moles are a common type of growth on the skin. They often appear as small, dark brown spots and are caused by clusters of pigmented cells. Moles generally appear during childhood and adolescence. Most people have 10 to 45 moles, almost all of which appear before age 40. Some moles may fade or disappear as you age.

It can be extremely difficult to work out whether a mole is harmless or not on your own. Having said that, you should be on the lookout for new or changing moles that need to get an expert opinion on whether or not they are something more serious or not.

Some moles can be a sign of skin cancer or other health problems, which is always something to take very seriously, although there is also a good chance that they could be nothing to worry about at all. You're always best to have a dermatologist check them out if you're concerned about any skin changes.
