What conditions or information is revealed by tehe skin?

Answer 1

The condition of the skin offers many clues as to health of a person. The supple elastic skin of a young person is replaced years later by sun and environmental damage. Any telltale yellowing of the skin indicate a functional problem with the liver. Flushed areas of the face sometimes tell of a blood pressure problem or an intoxication. Of course any abnormal growth or change may be signs of skin cancer. Scars in children can also be linked to child abuse. Skin coloring indicates specific cultures.
