The hair on the toes and instep can also show the state of health. The American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons (American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons) pointed out that if the hair on the feet disappears, it may be a sign of peripheral artery disease (PAD). The Sun also sorted out 6 key points to see the health status from the feet, so that people can understand it at a glance.
1. Heart disease
In addition to hairless feet, which can be a sign of PAD, which can lead to heart disease, cold calves or feet, numbness in the legs, cramping pain in the buttocks or legs, and shiny skin on the legs can all be signs of PAD sign.
2. Diabetes
If it is found that the wound on the foot is difficult to heal, it may be a sign of diabetes, and because the neuropathy it causes usually begins in the leg, as many as 5% of patients in the United States develop foot ulcers, and 1% of them have to be amputated . In addition, unexplained weight loss, thirst, tiredness, blurred vision and more frequent urination than usual are all symptoms of diabetes.
3. Hypothyroidism
If the thyroid gland doesn’t produce enough hormones, “the feet will get cold,” according to the NHS, and thyroid problems can lead to angina or other serious heart problems, in addition to high cholesterol and clogged arteries.Constipation, fatigue, depression, muscle cramps, and weight gain are all signs of hypothyroidism

If your thumb looks unusually large and persists for a long time, you may have gout, which can lead to kidney stones and permanent joint damage if left untreated.
