Telangiectasia
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Telangiectasias are small dilated blood vessels, visible under the skin or mucous membranes, that appear as fine reddish or purplish lines, popularly known as spider veins.
Why do they appear? They can be related to hereditary factors, hormonal changes, sun exposure, pressure in the veins, or the passage of time.
When is it worth checking them? They are generally harmless, but if they grow, bleed, or are accompanied by other symptoms, it is worth evaluating them.
Which specialist handles them? The dermatologist and the angiologist, or the vascular surgeon, are the go-to professionals for evaluating the skin and circulation. A professional review helps distinguish a cosmetic matter from one that requires additional study.
