What is Vascular redness, broken capillaries, cherry angioma, and spider veins

  • Vascular Redness:

This refers to general redness of the skin caused by dilated or enlarged blood vessels. 

  • Broken Capillaries:

These are small, visible blood vessels that have burst or become damaged, often appearing as red or bluish lines or dots on the skin. 

  • Cherry Angiomas:

These are small, bright red, dome-shaped growths on the skin caused by a cluster of dilated capillaries. 

  • Spider Veins:

These are dilated blood vessels that appear as thin, web-like lines, often on the legs and face, and can be caused by sun exposure, aging, or other factors

What causes Vascular redness, broken capillaries, cherry angioma, and spider veins

  • Sun Exposure: Prolonged sun exposure can damage blood vessels, making them more visible. 
  • Aging: As skin ages, it thins, making blood vessels more noticeable. 
  • Hormonal Changes: Fluctuations in hormones during pregnancy or menopause can trigger the appearance of vascular lesions. 
  • Lifestyle Factors: Smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and chronic stress can weaken blood vessels. 
  • Trauma: Injury to the skin can also lead to broken capillaries or spider veins. 

Genetics: Some individuals may be predisposed to developing these conditions.
