Skin, the body's largest organ, can reveal an awful lot more than just acne and wrinkles. In fact, it can actually reflect serious health issues like diabetes and cancer. Dr. Jeffrey Dover, an eminent dermatology expert associated with the Yale School of Medicine, points out that our skin faithfully mirrors the functioning of our internal organs. Obviously, we would do well to look out for telltale symptoms showing up on the skin so as to take the decision to seek medical help. If, for example, you notice red butterfly-shaped rash appearing on your face, what do you make of it? It may not mean you're necessarily embarrassed. A red, butterfly-shaped rash, typically spread out over the bridge of the nose and cheeks, strongly hints at the autoimmune disease Lupus. According to Dover, in cases of acute systemic Lupus, the rash brings on feelings of weakness, exhaustion and achy joints. Similarly, if otherwise normal-looking skin begins itching all over persistently for apparently no reason, it could be indicative of such conditions as lymphoma, kidney disease, or liver disease, according to Dover.
