Skin cancer. At the age of 50, skin pigmentation, damage may develop. Also, the skin at this age can be dry. Therefore, it is important to make sure that all these changes are not related to cancer.

Physical exercise (especially lifting weights), a balanced diet (must include citrus fruits, dark leafy vegetables, fish) can help reduce the risk of fractures or injuries.

shingles. With this infection, a red, blistering rash appears on the skin. If left untreated, you may experience postherpetic neuralgia or vision loss.
