Heart attack ear lob, skin tags and rectal polyps

Is there any truth to the heart attack ear lobe and skin tags and rectal polyps? Any help would be appreciated.

Ok , is it just me or does anybody understand that question ?

insider could you add some more details for a overtired Euro. poster . :slight_smile:

I’m a wide-awake American poster, and I’m just as confused as you are.

Amazingly, I do understand part of it. My uncle is always saying that people with long earlobes are more prone to heart attacks. (Or is it less prone?) I’ll try to find out.

I had heard it as a crease in your ear lobe indicates high probability of coronary disease in your future.

Skin tags can be precursors of skin cancer, just as colonic polyps sometimes go malignant.

Of course, it would help if the OP phrased his question as a complete thought. As it stands I would have to answer that there really are such things as heart attacks, ear lobes, skin tags, and rectal polyps. And I do not see how that would be a helpful response.

this site speaks of a correlation between earlobe creases and the risk of hemorrhagic stroke. Other sites mention earlobe creases in relation to heart disease.

As for skin tags, this site says

What in hell’s a skin tag?
