Patient's question:
I am 34 years old. Recently, for some reason, I have been feeling nauseous and wanting to vomit. My stomach has been, sometimes with symptoms of burning and acid reflux. I went to the hospital, and it was fine for a while, but then it started again. What does a spider angioma look like?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is a special type of telangiectasia, primarily caused by a decline in the liver's ability to inactivate estrogen. It often appears on the face, neck, and chest, though it can also occur on other parts of the body. It manifests as small, circular vascular tumors with a diameter of less than 2mm at the center, extending outward with many capillaries and branches, resembling a red spider crawling on the skin. It is recommended that you visit a hospital for an examination in this regard.
