If the sign is there: The skin, nails and hair can exhibit many changes and provide signs and clues to other more systemic health problems. Board certified dermatologist are therefore able to sometimes diagnose other health problems before they become obvious by examining the patient. Many conditions such as diabetes, thyroid disorders, poisoning, vitamin deficiencies, to cancers can manifest skin/hair/nail changes.
