Vein problems and vascular lesions encompass a range of conditions related to the blood vessels. These can include spider veins, varicose veins, rosacea, port wine stains, and other vascular malformations. Such issues are not only cosmetic concerns but can also lead to discomfort and, in some cases, more serious health implications.
- Spider Veins and Varicose Veins: These are visible veins that appear just under the skin’s surface, often in the legs. Spider veins are smaller, red, purple, or blue vessels, while varicose veins are larger, raised, and often more painful.
- Rosacea: A chronic skin condition that causes redness and visible blood vessels in the face.
- Port Wine Stains: A type of birthmark caused by swollen blood vessels, leading to a reddish-purplish discoloration of the skin.
- Other Vascular Lesions: Including hemangiomas, venous lakes, and more, which are generally benign but can be aesthetically concerning or uncomfortable.
