Your face isn’t just for showing emotions, as it can also reveal clues about your health. Changes in your skin, eyes, or facial features might be signs of underlying health issues. Noticing these changes early can help with faster diagnosis and treatment.

Eyebrow thinning

Skin conditions like eczema or dermatitis can also lead to thinning eyebrows. These conditions cause inflammation, which can affect hair growth. When the skin is irritated or inflamed, the hair follicles may struggle to produce new hairs, leading to patchy or sparse eyebrows.

Puffy eyes

In some cases, puffy eyes may be a sign of a more serious condition like Graves’ disease, which is caused by an overactive thyroid. When the thyroid produces too much hormone, fat and other substances can build up around the eyes, leading to puffiness and swelling. It's important to visit a doctor if you're concerned.

Melasma

Although melasma isn’t harmful, it can make some people feel self-conscious. Treatments are available, and a dermatologist can help find the best way to manage it. With the right care, the dark patches can fade over time.

Milia

Milia are usually harmless and often go away on their own, especially in babies. However, if they persist or appear near the eyes, a doctor may need to remove them. In some cases, a doctor might check for underlying skin conditions.

If you’re worried about milia, or they don’t fade naturally, a dermatologist can help with treatment options.
