Changes in the Face That Indicate Serious Health Issuess
Facial Changes That May Indicate Health Issues
Certain facial changes can signal underlying health conditions. For instance, thinning eyebrows may be more than just a cosmetic issue.
According to Livestrong.com, hypothyroidism—an underactive thyroid—can cause general hair thinning, including eyebrows.
Another cause might be atopic dermatitis, a skin condition affecting 20% of the population, which can lead to eyebrow loss.
Unusual facial hair and intense acne can also be red flags. While peach fuzz and mild breakouts are normal, excessive facial hair or severe acne may signal Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). PCOS is linked to irregular periods, infertility, obesity, and abnormal hair growth. If you notice these symptoms, consult your doctor.
