Severe deficiency of vitamins C and P can make the skin look like the fur of a cheetah – all covered in bruises.
Do you take vitamins?
Good health and beautiful appearance are not so much the merit of mom and dad, but the result of caring for a loved one on the part of a person. He protects himself from diseases, gets vaccinated against common viruses – he will avoid severe illnesses. If he undergoes medical examination regularly (at least once every 2 years), he will be able to notice in time the onset of the development of a dangerous disease and begin treatment.
But it happens that all this is done, but the state of health is not satisfactory, and this can be seen even with a cursory glance at the person.
– One of the signs of health problems is gray skin that is prone to bruising from the slightest touch or pat. You just have to touch a person’s wrist, and there’s already a hematoma. I patted him on the shoulder – and again there was a bruise. Such manifestations cannot be ignored. They may be a symptom of acute vitamin deficiency, requiring immediate treatment, says dermatologist Kristina Gladkova.
She emphasized that “thin” skin can also be a symptom of blood vessel pathology. From a lack of vitamins and microelements, such as zinc, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, blood vessels become less elastic, fragile and very sensitive to any external influences.
First a blood test, then a diagnosis
Another cause of vascular damage is the development of systemic autoimmune diseases. For example, lupus or vasculitis. This version can be confirmed or refuted only on the basis of a biochemical blood test.
Pregnant women are also more sensitive to skin exposure. This happens due to changes in the functioning of the thyroid gland and other organs. At maximum loads, failures occur somewhere. One of them may be a decrease in platelet production in the blood. As a result, women often experience nosebleeds and extensive hematomas even after playing too vigorously with the dog.
