Ways Your Skin Reveals Underlying Health Issues

Visible Veins

Although it may look unpleasant on the legs, arms, and even the face, visible veins are an important indicator of one’s circulatory health, and can even signify blood clots. Varicose veins or spider veins on the legs can be the body telling the individual there are deeper issues associated with blood flow due to age, genetics, weight, and other health concerns occurring. For instance, spider veins on the face can indicate rosacea or excessive straining and stress on the body, and varicose veins left untreated may increase the pressure on the vein. This causes a worsening of the swelling and leg cramps, as well as phlebitis, which is inflammation and blood clots.
