Scientists have figured out how the legs can tell about the state of health

Sydney doctor Kate MacArthur said most foot problems, such as small sore spots, calluses or swelling, could potentially signal a health problem.. The expert told how diseases can be diagnosed by the legs.

It is important to pay attention to the color of toenails. “Yellow nails could indicate a fungal infection,” said Dr. Kate MacArthur..

If the feet always feel cold, this may indicate the presence of diabetes, which changes the peripheral blood supply.. If your feet remain dry or cracked for a long time, despite constant moisture, it may be worth paying attention to this problem..

One explanation could be hyperkeratosis, which is when the skin becomes too thick.. “The skin layers will not have enough elasticity and cracks will continue to form,” the expert said.. Other reasons why feet are still dry despite treatment could be dermatitis, psoriasis, or eczema..
