4. Palmar Xanthomas
Yellowish plaques or streaks on the palms, particularly in skin folds.

If you notice these skin changes, it’s a good idea to check your cholesterol levels and consult a doctor. High cholesterol increases the risk of heart disease and stroke, so early detection and treatment are important.
