Named a noticeable sign of a dangerous level of cholesterol. It is reported by the British newspaper Daily Express with reference to the Swedish oncologist Catharina Svanberg.
According to the doctor, if cholesterol levels exceeds the norm for a long time, it can manifest itself on the skin surface. We are talking about small yellowish papools, which are also called “xanthoms”. “Abruptly outlined and yellowish growths often arise on centuries or around them. By themselves, these neoplasms are harmless and not hurt,” the professor explained.
When detecting on the face of xanthomas, contact the doctor and make blood test, the material says. Cholesterol is able to accumulate in the arteries, leading over time to their blockage, which can provoke a heart attack or stroke.
Previously, British scientists reported that the high level of cholesterol could lead to the accumulation of “yellowish sediments” in the tendons. “Because of the biochemical kinship between LDL and the collagen contained in the tendons, LDL leaves blood flow and is attached to the tendons, especially Achille, becoming more and harder, causing inflammation,” doctors write.
