Hands and feet with these 5 'signs' may be cancer in the body and need to be screened in time
There is no one in this world who is not afraid of cancer. 'Cancer' is a pretender in the disease. Cancer cells have a strong "latent" ability and are not easy to be discovered. However, patients with early stage cancer can hardly feel it until the cancer reaches the middle and late stages and penetrates into the 'tissue'. After that, symptoms will gradually appear.
Therefore, we need to strengthen our own awareness of cancer prevention and anti-cancer, and to understand the phenomenon or changes of some common cancers, so as to be able to detect, prevent and treat as soon as possible. However, people are afraid of cancer, but as long as it is a disease, most of them have signals. And cancer may manifest in the hands and feet, when there are some abnormalities in the hands and feet.
What are the signs in the hands and feet that could be an indicator of cancer in the body?
1. Black spots on the toes
Skin cancer is one of the most dangerous types of cancer. It is usually not detected, and by the time the patient finds the abnormality, it is already at an advanced stage. There is a common type of melanoma in skin cancer. If small black spots appear on the feet, and they continue to grow in a short period of time, and the surface has bulges, it is necessary to check them in time. This is likely to be a cancerous mole!
2. Nails turn black
Normal human nails are pale pink, and the color is very smooth, and there is usually a white crescent shape on the lower part of the nail. If all five fingers have a moon shape, it is the healthiest. If you find that the color of the nails has turned black or there are black spots on the bottom of the nails, it may be a melanoma caused by cancer in the body.
3. Liver palm
Spread your hands and observe your palms. If there is flaky hyperemia, or red spots or plaques on the skin at the base of the thumb and little finger, the thenar area will turn pale after pressing the palm. Let go and return to red, this situation needs attention, it may be a signal of liver cancer.
4. Foot edema
A normal person's foot presses hard, and when the hand is released, it will return to its original state. If there is edema and the hand presses hard, the skin cannot rebound for a long time, and there is an obvious deep pit, then you need to pay attention. Edema is divided into two types: physiological and pathological. Physiological edema is related to factors such as excessive intake of water and excessive walking.
When pathological edema appears, it may be a signal of organ cancer; such as liver cancer, lung cancer, kidney cancer, etc., these cancers will lead to lower extremity edema, and you need to be vigilant.
5. Clubbing finger
Clubbing isn't just on the fingers, but the toes can also have similar variations. When the lungs become cancerous, the tumor blocks the airways, leading to a lack of oxygen in the lungs, which in turn affects tissues throughout the body. The ends of the fingers and toes may be thick and thick, looking like drumsticks, and the nails may also bulge and deform. Therefore, once the deformation of the toe is found, it is necessary to be vigilant and screen for cancer cells in time.
