Dark Spots
Dark patches appearing unexpectedly on the skin could signal adrenal insufficiency, potentially linked to Addison’s disease. However, this is not always the case. Accompanying symptoms such as muscle/joint pain, loss of appetite, low blood pressure, and abnormal sugar levels may also be present. If these symptoms are observed, immediate consultation with a healthcare professional is advised.
Discoloration
White patches on the skin might indicate vitiligo, a disorder characterized by the absence of pigment-producing melanocytes. Individuals experiencing this issue are encouraged to seek diagnosis and therapy from an endocrinologist or dermatologist.
