Your face is not only a mirror of your personality, but it also tells a lot about your health. The changes seen in facial skin and appearance can be signs of physical problems. For example, in case of increased cholesterol, some signs start appearing on the face, whose identification in time is very important.
In this article, we are talking about some such signs which appear on the face due to increased cholesterol. Let us tell you that we talked to Lucknow's General Physician Dr. Brijendra Singh about this and are sharing the information received from him with you here.
Dr. Brijendra Singh explains that the presence of cholesterol is essential for the body. The body needs cholesterol to create healthy cells, but high levels of cholesterol increase the risk of heart stroke and cardiovascular diseases. In such a situation, it is important to identify it in time so that it can be controlled. Let us tell you that it can be identified to a great extent through visible changes on the face.
Swelling on face
Dr. Brijendra Singh explains that in the case of high cholesterol, fat accumulates in the blood vessels, due to which swelling can be seen in the skin of the face and the rest of the body. In such a situation, if swelling is seen on the face without any reason, then you need to take it seriously because it can also be due to high cholesterol.
Yellowness on the face
Yellowness can also be seen on the face due to high cholesterol. The blood circulation of the face can be affected due to the accumulation of cholesterol, in such a situation the face may turn pale. Therefore, even if the complexion of your face is turning white or pale, you need to be serious about it. For this, contact a doctor, based on your physical examination the doctor will be able to tell you about the real reason.
Lump on skin
Lumps visible on the face can also be a sign of cholesterol deposits, also known as skin tags.Such lumps often appear especially around the eyes, but people generally ignore them considering it to be a skin problem. In reality, these lumps are a sign of increased cholesterol, so get it checked.
Facial dryness
If your face is becoming unusually dry and it is itching due to dryness, then do not ignore it as the effect of weather. Cholesterol imbalance can cause dehydration in the skin, due to which the face can become dry.
The problem of pimples and acne
Excessive cholesterol levels can also increase the problem of pimples and acne. Acne occurs when skin pores get clogged due to the accumulation of cholesterol. In such a situation, if despite proper maintenance of the skin, there is no relief from acne, then it could be a sign of accumulation of cholesterol in the body.
Changes are visible in the eyes also
Many indications of an increase in bad cholesterol in the body can also be found in the eyes. In fact, in case of an increase in cholesterol, the problem of Xanthelasma often arises. In this, the skin around the eyes turns yellow. Apart from this, blurred vision, dark spots and pain in the eyes can also be a sign of increased cholesterol.
