Al-Marsad newspaper: The Health Authority’s Leukemia Center has revealed two signs on your skin that indicate that you have leukemia.
Macmillan Cancer Support notes: “A blood cancer that grows faster, such as acute myeloid leukemia or acute lymphocytic leukemia, is more likely to cause symptoms that appear over a few weeks.”
The center explained: “Bruising generally begins as red spots that change color and become darker over time. It may be difficult to see bruises at first on black and brown skin, but as it develops it appears darker than the surrounding skin,” according to the newspaper, “Express.”
He pointed out: “The rash often appears in groups of small spots or large spots on black and brown skin, it may look purple or darker than the surrounding skin and on fair skin, it usually looks red or purple and if you press on it, the petechiae does not fade.”
Factors that affect an individual’s risk of disease can include exposure to chemicals or radiation, but a large number of cancers result from race, gender and age.
Unlike other types of malignancy, lifestyle changes such as diet have little effect on the risk of developing leukemia.
