And Express reports, about 90% of palm scarring is related to malignant tumors inside the body. This phenomenon is rare, but it usually appears before cancer is diagnosed.
The appearance of scars, accompanied by black thorns, indicates atrophy of the skin pigment. 35% of cases indicate stomach cancer and 11% of cases indicate lung cancer.
When there is a change in the tissue without changing the pigment, it usually indicates lung cancer. These scars sometimes indicate malignant tumors in the head or urinary-genital tract.
Based on this, doctors recommend not to ignore any change in the palm and skin of the hand, and to see a specialist doctor to diagnose the cause.
It has already become known that lip numbness may indicate cancer of the oral cavity or the lips. This happens when cancer cells damage nerves and blood vessels in this area of the body.
Doctors stress that many of these symptoms are linked to other diseases. Therefore, the earlier the cancer is diagnosed, the greater the chances of a cancer cure.
