If any changes in the body and appearance appear, then you should undergo a medical examination to reduce the risks of developing serious illnesses.

For example, redness of the skin of the face is one of the symptoms of thyroid cancer.

This was reported by experts from Great Britain, writes the Express publication.

They explained that patients with this disease have elevated levels of the hormone calcitonin, which is produced by cancer cells. As a result, the skin color changes, and diarrhea is also possible.

In addition, it is important to consider that the thyroid gland is located in front of the windpipe, so if there are problems, swallowing may be difficult.

The experts also noted that all these symptoms are not an accurate indicator, which means that the patient should not panic, but should only undergo an examination to detect problems in time.

It is important to remember that the earlier the disease is detected, the more treatable it is.
