NOSE: A 'butterfly rash' i.e. a rash that is shaped like a tiny little butterfly at the bridge of your nose is a sign of a connective tissue disease or Lupus.

MOUTH: If you notice a discoloration, about two shades lighter than your normal lip colour around the angles of your mouth, then you could be suffering from Vitamin B deficiency. Based on a blood test, your doctor may suggest a change in diet and/or vitamin supplements.
FINGERS: Are the tips of your fingers swollen? This is medically referred to as 'clubbing of fingers'. It could signal chronic lung disorder.
NAILS: Do you have depressions smack in the middle of your nails? It could signal iron deficiency. This too is more common in women than men. Supplements or a changed diet will take care of the problem.
LEGS: If you have a flattish rash on the inner side of your leg, above the ankle, it could signal a thyroid problem. And contrary to popular belief, men are prone to it too.
NATURE CALLS: If you are visiting the toilet frequently, especially after dark, you need to be tested for diabetes. Diabetes affects a host of organs and all it takes to detect it is a simple blood test.
