What Are Telangiectasias?
Telangiectasia are blood vessels that are red, purple, or blue. They appear on the surface of the skin often on the face, upper chest, and neck. They are similar to spider veins, which appear on the legs, especially as we get older. The vein in question are not important to bodily function, so removal of them may be a great option, especially if they affect your self esteem.
Where do they come from?
Telangiectasia may come from various aspects of our lives. Genetics reveal a predisposition toward Telangiectasia in certain people, and pregnancy may also encourage their growth (since your body is changing during pregnancy and stress is put on the veins as it does so).
Telangiectasia may also come from outside the body, and exposure to sun and wind, trauma to the skin, surgical incisions, use of medications that widen blood vessels, or even excessive alcohol use have all been well-documented as factors.
