You Have Tripe Palms

This visual health sign is a problem that cannot be ignored. Tripe palms have an appearance similar to cooked tripe – the stomach lining of beef, sheep or pork. The skin of the palm becomes thick and velvety-white with pronounced folds in the lines of the hand.

Approximately 90 percent of cases of tripe palms are associated with cancer. Thankfully this disorder is very rare, however, if you have tripe palms, or even suspect that you do, it’s important to see your doctor as soon as possible.
