Facial Asymmetry: Sudden swelling or muscle weakness on one side of the face, leading to drooping at the corner of the mouth, may indicate a stroke or facial nerve paralysis and requires immediate medical attention.
Xanthelasma: Yellow or orange plaques formed by lipid deposits on the eyelids are associated with metabolic skin disorders and high blood lipids. People with long-term high cholesterol may have an increased risk of heart disease.
Earlobe Crease: Poor heart and cardiovascular function may lead to tissue hypoxia. Long-term hypoxia can cause connective tissue atrophy, resulting in a crease on the earlobe, which is linked to an increased risk of coronary heart disease.
Swollen Eyes: Swelling around the eyes can be physiological, as seen in the morning, or pathological, such as in cases of urinary tract infections or hypothyroidism.
Darkened Neck: Known as acanthosis nigricans, this condition involves velvety dark patches of skin, which may be associated with benign diseases or gastrointestinal tumors and requires timely medical consultation.
